Inspired to Paint



Original Watercolor by Marcia Umland 2008

Everytime I see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, I'm inspired to paint! As I approach 60 in a couple of months...I've seen a lot of skies! I never stop being amazed by the "brush" of the Master Painter and His wonderful palette of colors! Here is my humble attempt to paint one such sunset. My original work...inspired to paint...from my own memories.

Land of the Navajo


Original Watercolor by Marcia Umland 2008
Photo reference taken inside Antelope Canyon in Arizona by MConnors from Morguefile.com
I was intrigued by this photo as the light shining on the rock formations seemed to resemble a Navajo Warrior. Maybe you will see something different! Sand, sun, wind but mostly water has made some fantastic works of natural art in this canyon.
