Shadow canyon trail is the prefered hiking trail to the top of South Boulder Peak. The gentle trail climbs in the shade of a poderosa pine forest. The iconic “Maiden” rock is seen to the left which is a favorite techical climb and 150 ft. Free rappel for most dedicated climber in Boulder. I painted this in two daily sessions which gave me a chance to lay in the composition on day one. Review and analyze the painting in the evening and the next day I could make the painted representation into a beautiful painting. I wish i had the luxury to paint in this manner all the time. .
