Alabaster in Bronze
Acyrlic (Plein Air)
18.5x15.5 (framed)
Painted in the morning from Yavapai Point, Alabaster and Bronze focuses on a Kaibab Limestone ledge illuminated by fresh sunlight. The warm reds of the Supai Group resonate behind it, achieved with red oxide; the same iron pigment that colors the canyon’s formations. That bronze glow in the background heightens the pale, alabaster quality of the ledge, creating a quiet contrast between morning brilliance and ancient stone.
