This painting received a great deal of interest during my show at Aura Dez Fine Art; yet it didn't sell. The strong contrast and background colors seem to be what people really liked about it. I worked off a photo I took down in the Rio Grande while I stood in the middle of a bridge looking down river and into the sun. The photo made the canyon walls very dark and mysterious. I actually painting 2 paintings of this view, this was the second.
