These two studies were done to prepare myself for a larger version. I painted Moran Point twice when I visited the park for the first time last August. One was done in the morning and the other in the late afternoon.
"Moran Point" was done on location in the morning and "Moran's View" I just completed in the studio as a color study. Neither view show's the entire Moran Point. I am doing another study now and will add these to my "Canyons and Badlands" series.

"Moran Point" 9" x 12" oil/linen

"Moran's View" 12" x 16" oil/linen
For a REALLY good time visit http://www.panoramicearth.com/1989/Grand_Canyon/Moran_Point for a full 360 degree panoramic view of Moran Point and other points that give great views of the canyon.
I found it best to go full screen and then use the buttons to rotate the camera around.

I really enjoyed painting out here this weekend, but these two sure make me wish I was at the Grand Canyon. Your colors are super, and I really admire the feeling of distance that you have in these.
Thanks Douglas. I'm glad you can see the distance because there's a bunch of it out there.
