Snow After Rain

Every day, every time of year, is beautiful at Snow Canyon. But this particular day, just after the rain, was especially jaw-dropping. We were at a Winters family reunion in St George, and after a big rainstorm the night before, the more adventurous of us set off on a morning hike to Three Ponds. The hike wasn't difficult (as you can see, the trail is mostly flat), but it was about three miles of gorgeous, rain-soaked desert trail, concluding with a series of ponds at the end where the kids jumped in and went for a swim!

I just finished this painting last night. This will be on display at the AmBank Invitational show, which opens November 3, 2016.

UPDATE: The president of AmBank decided they couldn't part with this painting when the show closed so it is now part of their permanent collection.
