Do you remember the photo of the Grand Canyon I showed you? If not, that's okay...here it is again.







Here is my Christmas Gift to Dad, based on this photo...I apparently can't actually paint unless it's something I'm copying from a photo...something I'm continually working on.






It looks a little different in both lights, and actually I think it looks better in person. I don't remember if I made some changes after this or not. Actually, I did. At least to the white in the middle-I made it yellow...I don't remember what else though.


After trying to paint, I have a new respect for people who are really gifted at it, and take the time to do it properly.
