Description
This painting won Honorable Mention in the 2015 Member’s Open Show at the Tubac Center of the Arts. Always an honor to receive
recognition among so many talented artists.
In August of 1988 we traveled to Zion National Park for the very first time after visiting Bryce Canyon. After driving through a mile long tunnel we were greeted with our very first view of the inner canyon of Zion.This view in fact. To the distant far upper left we saw the West Temple. The Great Streaked Wall was most impressive as it towered over the canyon floor. The white sandstone peaks known as the Beehives rise over 3,500 feet above the Virgin River. The Zion Mount Carmel Highway takes a hair pin curve as it winds down Pine Creek Canyon. Huge streaks are from iron oxide in the sandstone as waterfalls drain from the upper plateaus. Here, patchy clouds over head cause shadows to move over the canyon. Rain is falling in Springdale and in front of the West Temple. Heavy rains can cause beautiful waterfalls that plummet hundreds of feet! Pine Creek is flowing to where it meets the Virgin River. Weather, light, vivid colors and towering vertical walls combine to create a feast for the senses! I invite you to Google this place and you'll find an image page that shows various photos including rock ( cliff ) climbers ascending the wall. There is also a YOU TUBE video showing some French Speaking climbers during their climb called: Tale of the Scorpion Le Streaked Wall.......Another shows a beautiful waterfall. Well worth seeing!

Amy, thank you so much. I had a person fly 6,500 miles one way just to see this, my art, and all of the places like Sedona, Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce that inspire my work. She has a metal print of this as well as an original Zion painting hanging in her home!

Amazing painting and I do not think google could show me a more pleasing image than your paintings nor being there in person.

Ahhh, being there in person...we were there 6 weeks ago today, Susanna. This place must be seen to be believed as it is huge vertical! Still, your comment is something I appreciate so much. It took me 4 weeks to paint this. I love this view of The Streaked Wall. So my heartfelt THANKS!
