There is something timeless about running a river through canyon country. The current carries you away from roads, schedules, and noise, drawing you deeper between walls of ancient stone. Around each bend, the canyon changes—the light moves across the cliffs, cottonwoods glow along the water’s edge, and reflections drift across the surface.
This painting was inspired by that feeling—the freedom of running the river, the grandeur of the canyon, and the sense that, for a little while, the rest of the world has disappeared.
