Home from the Grand Canyon

I recently arrived home from the Grand Canyon after a fantastic trip with the Historic Boats Afloat expedition. Thanks to the wonderful team of folks I shared the experience with! It was my first time visiting the Canyon and the landscape was both sublime and overwhelming with its complexity and scale. I gradually grew more familiar with the palette and forms as I sketched and explored. The replica 1950s boats were also charming with their graceful forms and bright colors. I still have some unpacking to do, but here is a selection of my sketches. If you’re in the Seattle area and would like to learn more about my time in the SW, as well as my Greenland Expedition last summer, I invite you to join me next Thursday, March 10th 6:30pm—7:30pm at the Greenwood Library for a presentation. I hope to see you there!

You’ve captured the place really well. It’s lovely to see them finished.

Such nice renderings of the canyon color, and river life.
