Description
Nadine made sketches of The Grand Canyon from Mather viewpoint from several places, then made this painting of the Grand Canyon National park using acrlics and water soluable oils... . We love the red sandstone and limestone colors caused by iron oxide in the soil of Arizona.
Stephen Tyng Mather was an American industrialist, and conservationist, who as president and owner of Thorkildsen-Mather Borax Company, became a millionaire. Later with his friend and journalist Robert Sterling Yard, Mather led a publicity campaign to promote the creation of a unified federal agency to oversee National Parks administration; this was established in 1916.
In 1917 Mather was appointed as the first director of the National Park Service, the new agency created within the Department of the Interior. He served until 1929, during which time Mather created a professional civil service organization, increased the numbers of parks and national monuments, and established systematic criterion for adding new properties to the federal system.
