Morning Glory - The Grand Canyon from South Kaibab Trail by Richard Harpum

Comments

Love this view - been several times to this area. Did you get up to lake Powell as well? I keep thinking about doing something like this, but the utter complexity scares me... not sure I'd be able to communicate the detail in my style. You've done a cracking job here... well done.

18"x24". I have visited the Grand Canyon on several occasions and in 2006 I hiked down South Kaibab trail and back up Bright Angel trail, a distance of about 17 miles. As I left Yapi Point just after sun-up, there was a strip of sunlight along the north rim. The light quickly spread down the canyon and by the time I had descended a few hundred feet, the light was penetrating deeper into the canyon. I was suddenly presented with this amazing view, which I have captured on camera and used for this painting.
