Hurray! Another painting completed. This one is titled "Burnt Toast." It is 14x11, Oil on Panel.
This is a fun landmark in the middle of the 7-mile Rim trail in Moab. You have to squeeze your jeep between the three big rocks in the foreground and the jumble of rocks behind them. This landmark is right below Merrimac Butte and right across from Monitor Butte. Those buttes really do remind you of the Civil War battleships.
It is interesting noticing the difference in the rock color of the "Toast" slices from the other boulders around it. I have to assume that they fell from high up on the butte where the layers are darker and redder than those at the lower level around them. I'm not sure if they split when they fell or split from ice and weathering in their current location.
Here are the GPS coordinates: 38.661821, -109.743728 And here is an early WIP and the reference image that I used.
