      For a Painter, it is an extraordinary privilege to actually stay in the Canyon for an entire week. Small paintings and drawings only.
This is virtually the only way to be there to capture the exquisite early morning light, the vibrant late afternoon rays, and the fleeting special moments during the day. It is the only way to let the inspiration of this magnificent place really soak in so you can paint it out with a vivid intensity that seems to flow through your fingers on to the canvas.
      You can paint and draw right in camp, beneath towering red-rocks and golden cottonwoods. Or, you always have to option to choose to paint any other place in the Canyon. We will be accompanied by guides every place that we go.

Perhaps the famous 'White House' beckons, with its ancient buildings tucked high into the cliff, or, a more intimate site with hidden petroglyphs. Either way, you will have the option of riding there on your horse, or following in the truck with all the gear. You are met at the site with all your painting stuff as well as lunch so you ride unencumbered ! Often the painters will choose to paint during the lovely morning light, then break for lunch. Early afternoons, when the sun is too directly overhead to create those enticing shadows, you may take a nap, ride some more, or hike. Late afternoon always finds the painters intently back at their canvases. After a full day, you return to camp to smell dinner cooking while you share your paintings and discuss Life & Art with like-minded companions around a roaring campfire.
