Here is a recent 9×12″ oil painting inspired from a hike last March. It was an overcast day but the sun was illuminating the snow on the south rim. This was about a mile down-trail from Indian Gardens, as my wife and I made our way back to the south rim after spending two nights at Phantom Ranch. In my painting, I really wanted to emphasize the soft light of this wintery morning. I have included the photo and sketch below, sources for my painting.
