Sabino Canyon Oil Painting

Sabino Canyon in Tucson is an amazing landscape that is filled with  huge boulders and lots of running water at various times of the year.  It is a rugged place and a favorite spot for day hikers in Tucson.

I painted this oil painting from a photograph that I took while on a paint out with the Tucson Plein Air Painters Society.  I like how the palette knife gives these rocks a lot of dimension.  I paint a lot of paintings with a palette knife and really like the expressive qualities that it lends a painting.
