Autumn Grandeur, Zion

I was overwhelmed by the beauty and the variety of the landscape in Zion National Park and the surrounding area. This is Kolob Canyons, on the northwest corner of the park in southern Utah. The cliffs are so majestic...leading back into the canyon as it was shrouded in clouds and mist giving it an air of mystery. The autumn colors were so beautiful. This painting was included in the Salon International Juried Exhibition in San Antonio, Texas, in April 2011. This is one of three of my paintings paired with Abby Williams Hill's painting, "Lady Mountain, Zion National Park," (1927, 31x41") at the Vashon-Maury Heritage Museum in 2014 which is pictured below.
