Standing Naked in an Approaching Monsoon



18 x 24 oil on Alky Primed Canvas.

One of the finds I came across on the summer trip to St. George, Zion and Bryce Canyon. The weather was pretty wild the whole time we were there. It was a real active monsoon season this year and it made for some interesting drama. I took and unbelievable amount of photos and this was one of those that aked to be painted.

Hi Les,
Hey, this is another stunning painting from you. You really have a great knack for capturing the colors of the canyon young man!
Miss you over at WC. How is the no smoking going? I'm trying to do that now but failing miserably! hahaha. Linda is busting me all the time....good looking cop though.
Hope you are doing well Les.
