Salt River by Bulldog Canyon

This morning I went to Bulldog Canyon (east of Phoenix, Arizona) and painted this study on a 9x12 panel. There was a lovely tree on a tiny island in the middle of the river, with a few leaves already turning yellow or orange.  

It was a rather difficult experience having the clumsy French easel standing on what felt like quick sand.  Fortunately I did finish it.
