Portfolio - Original Oil Paintings by Modern Impressionist Erin Hanson

Bryce Canyon in Utah is known for brilliantly colored geological formations called hoodoos, and Erin Hanson uses her open impressionist painting technique to great effect here. She utilizes a limited palette to capture the red rock landscape, which dramatically accents the color variations found from rock to rock. Additionally, her assured brushstrokes are ideally suited to the enormity of the landscape she is painting, which gives one an understanding of the incredible vistas found in this Utah landscape.
