Utah Rock Range

Hi This is 12x16 Acrylic on Canvas done mostly with a palette knife.

"If the rocks call out in silence so will I..."

More of Utah? This would be cool to see in person to get an idea of the scale of the piece, as it is a larger work.

I have never tried a palette knife. How hard is it to work with?

Thank you sir. That foreground rock hill was probably 300 feet high. Utah is my favorite state so far for nature, variety, and visual impact. I'm not exaggerating but you not you drive 20 miles from where you were before and the landscape looks completely different. You go from desert canyons in the south to the Rocky Mountains and Great Salt Lake in the north. I didn't know God made certain mountains in some of the colors I saw. I saw pink mountains and orange hills all in the same day.

Palette knife is great once you get comfortable with it. Here's a good demo video with some palette knife action
