CECY TURNER REACHING BEYOND

22.5” x 33” — Oil $3,500

When I saw this breathtaking view at Canyonlands National Park in Utah, it looked like the earth just couldn’t go any farther! The atmosphere and depth was astounding and I couldn’t wait to paint it! The little outcroppings are one of my favorite parts of it. Our original trip was cancelled because of Covid, and it took me a long time to talk my husband back into taking the trip, because he didn’t want “to go see a bunch of rocks.” Well, he changed his tune! And, the little road you see down in the canyon - we found it and went on it in our jeep! That’s another story!
