Wow ! here is another blast from the past I painted this lovely view of Zions Canyon back in the 1980′s while I was attending Brigham Young University. It found Its way into the collection of the Springville Museum of Art. It has been loaned around by them, I know for a while it was in the Governor of Utah’s residence. I have been a fan of Maynard Dixons work for a long time. I decided to find the exact spot where Maynard painted his wonderful painting “High in the Morning” a particular favorite of mine.

My wife Rhonda and  I found the spot above Angels Landing on the Lava Point trail. I painted this and about a dozen other smaller works base on the photos and sketches I made on that hike.

If you would like a print of this painting contact me for details. Many works from the Spingville collection are available through FOV editions in Provo, Utah.

Check back soon for new updates from my studio.  Check out my ebay listings I try and Offer small studio works and plein air studies there weekly. The Link to the Springville collection for a better view of this painting is;
