Morning Shadows on the Ramparts, Lukachukai Mountains
Graphite on paper
8 1/2 x 12
Going back to familiar surroundings with this one from my past. Growing up on the Navajo Reservation about 15 miles north of Canyon de Chelly I was fortunate to see this view quite often. The great sandstone cliffs form strikingly contrasted ramparts at the base of the Lukachukai Mountains, rising in tree covered heights over 10,000 ft.

Stunning, Michael
Your work is absolutely breathtaking!
It goes witout saying, (but I'm saying it anyways), you deserve wide acclaim for the quality and detail of your works.
Thank you Melinda, you're too generous (but I'll accept it anyway!!!) I don't comment often enough on your photography as I should, you do wonderful work with a camera, might even ask you in the future if I could steal a shot to do in watercolor.
Wow, this is just fabulous! How long does it take you to do a piece like this?
Thanks Sharmon. I worked this one in a few days but if I had been able to put the time in I would like without interruption this would probably have been about 6-8 hours total. Always hard to gauge as you know I'm sure having to deal with time constraints.
A wonderful drawing Michael and such an interesting looking landscape subject. :)
