Good Morning Gunnar new watercolor of the Grand Canyon

Missing the Grand Canyon today. Here is my new painting “Good Morning Gunnar” in tribute to the genius Gunnar Widforss. This is the view he painted from the Kolb studio  at a different time of year. If you are unfamiliar with his work it is worth visiting Gunnar Widforss page on Facebook. Watercolor 17 x21 

 

GCC quick draw, gala and exhbit

 The last painting was a QuickDraw.

We painted from 10 to 12 am on the South Rim near the El Tovar hotel.

I had seen a beautiful Gunnar  Widforss watercolor at the Kolb residence and I was inspired by his light and ethereal periwinkle blue shadows.

My QuickDraw:

Morning Colors

Here are my paintings at the Kolb Studio and residence through April 

Misc other memories

Although I did not paint there I took a walk at Mather Point.

I went to the Pioneer Cemetery unsuccessfully looking for Gunnar Widforss!s grave .I was later told  that it is in the corner diagonally across from the entrance gate.( note to self for next time)

Gunnar Widforss is buried somewhere under these beautiful trees!
