OIL PAINTING TIME-LAPSE | “Beneath The Glory“

This landscape painting in oils is the fifth painting of my series of work capturing what I love most about the outdoors and is an attempt to capture the magnificent beauty of the Southwestern United States. This painting began on location with a plein air study. We spent a couple of days in a canyon just like this and for the longest time I’ve wanted to capture all the things that made this place special to me, but I couldn’t figure out how. Recently while revisiting some of the photos I took along with the paintings I brought back from the area, I found my inspiration and it all came together. I titled this painting “Beneath The Glory“ because in the land of canyons, the towering landscapes around you can make oneself feel so small. The sheer glory of the rocks tower above these deep canyons, where water, wildlife, and nature thrives. I painted this in oils on canvas mounted to cradled board. It measures 30x40“. Prints will be available on my website:
