Devils Canyon Overlook (West View)
Oil on Canvas 12" x 36"
Devils Canyon is home to many birds of prey with an abundance of food and nesting opportunities. On my visit, I saw several raptors including a golden eagle who flew up the face of the canyon wall just feet from where I was painting. It soared into the sky backlit by the sun with its feathers penetrated by the rays, the beams turning the bird a semi-translucent brilliant greenish gold.

Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range. Created sixty-five million years ago by erosion with narrow
winding canyon walls are over 1,000 feet tall and 50 miles long.
