Sunrise Roundup, a 12"x24" acrylic painting, depicts a horse roundup in McElmo Canyon, a Sedona-like setting in Southwest Colorado. There are over 5000 documented archaeological sites in this beautiful area, and the dark sky star gazing is fabulous. This ranch was once owned by a legendary cowboy, Elden Zwicker. That cowboy in the foreground is Eldon's grandson. The beautiful Paint he's riding is Geronimo, legend in the Cortez area. Also, the road that leads to the Ranch has been called “Mormon Road” since early Mormons used it to migrate to Utah. The road is also nicknamed “Robber’s Path”, as Butch Cassidy is rumored to have hid his fortune in the Canyon.
There is such rich, complex, and beautiful history in the American Southwest! What a privilege it is to visit, photograph, and paint these places and creatures!
