Description
"Canyon Echoes" is a composition I developed to submit to a music theme exhibit. The featured Flute Player is actually a four-inch porcelain sculpture that belongs to a friend. It's a simplified figure, pear-shaped, yet light on her feet! I did a number of watercolor sketches using this figure as a design element for a possible abstract. It wasn't working. Having recently returned from a trip to southern Utah, I was looking at some watercolors I had done at Bryce Canyon. On a whim I did a watercolor of the figure in a Bryce-like landscape using different angles and aspects. One step led to another and resulted in this composition. The sky is a nod to Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'. Sometimes "chasing themes" encourages me to paint something different, in this case a whimsical landscape.
