Description
Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park, is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World and its vastness humbles the artist and photographer. It is such a joy to attempt to capture its beauty, needing to be in the right place at the right time.
Well at Hopi Point I was in the right place at the right time. Hopi Point is one of the best all-around viewpoints in Grand Canyon National Park! Jutting out farther into the Canyon than any other point on the South Rim, offering terrific views to the east and west. A great place for both sunrise and sunset. Hopi Point is located along Hermit Drive, which skirts the Canyon Rim west of Grand Canyon Village.
From this gorgeous vantage point, one receives an isolated view of Dana Butte, a flat mesa 2,000 feet below the overlook! This thin winding ridge would truly put one "ON THE EDGE!"
At the far back is the North Rim of The Grand Canyon.

Hi Janet, wow, no wonder you two are together saturating this western beauty. I had no idea Jerry Bokowski was your husband as I have not had time to put this together. That is great news as nice to share art and imagery with you both now. Do seize the days and thanks for sharing your beautiful work as I do enjoy!

Living with a professional photographer Dad and artist husband of 43 years. I have been photographing since I was 12. I am glad to know you enjoy my work.

Jerry Bokowski
Spoiler Alert! Janet, you posted the subject of one of my next two paintings here. It is such a beautiful capture from Hopi Point. The huge “S” curved vertical fin that leads to Dana Butte is lit to perfection. The gorgeous colors that Grand Canyon is famous for are on perfect display here. The rich blue distant north rim, multi-hued temples, warm grey lower plateaus, just boggle the mind. It will be a large 40”x60” painting. Both paintings will most likely take me to the end of the year. The second is gonna be a surprise though ! This is one of your very best Grand Canyon captures, Janet Marie! I hope that I can do it justice!.....Fav / Like
Janet Marie replied:
Oh my Jerry!!! I am gobSMACKED!!! What beautiful, luscious words of commendation, praise, encouragement, and inspiration expressed here!! The BEST EVER comment made about my work!!!!! I am taken back by these fabulous, wonderful words. Like a preface to a book I have authored. AND I am extremely honored and flattered, that you will be rendering this beauty as a STUNNING PAINTING! You most certainly will do it justice. YOU are the BEST! This was such a great trip lending itself for me to explore my artistic sensibility, producing some of my best photography. Showcasing the true colors and beauty of this magnificent place, The Grand Canyon National Park!! I appreciate your support with the Fav/like too! đź’•đź’•đź’•đź’•
