North Rim Grand Canyon

I saw on the map the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is at 9,000 ft, so I figured it was cooler, the desert was nearing 100'.

I never was attracted to the Grand Canyon as it is such a tourist trap, but the North side is nice, the day I was there very open.

I only had that evening to paint so I really hustled to find a representative view. Then I had to figure out a painterly strategy.
