I love to paint Canyon de Chelly because of the dramatic cliffs and the gorgeous colors.  I took a photo of this scene late in the day when the shadows were dramatic and the colors intense.  It was a lot of fun to paint!

I just finished this painting of a scene in Canyon de Chelly in the Four Corners area.  Al and I have visitied there twice and plan to go back.  There is only one trail from the top of the canyon and this is a photo taken after our hike into the canyon.  You are not allowed to drive your vehicle into the canyon.  The last time we were there we took a tour, but it was hard to take photos while barreling from place to place on a big truck.  So the next time I think we will hire a private driver and then I can stop anywhere I want to take photos.
