Description

All Sales Help Vets with #PTSD
Acrylic Painting, this piece of Art was Painted With regular paintbrushes By Hand over an original black and white photographic image. First I sprayed this image with clear acrylic, then painted over the black and white image.
Decades ago, in the 30's and 40's learned to use Marshal Oil Colors made for coloring Black and White photographs. ... Most of the work was coloring portraits but did color some images around the Boston and Cape Cod Beaches.

We had no color film to use then, but even when it came out, photographers continued using oils on black and white images as they were archival. Color prints were not and faded fast, especially if exposed to the sun or ultra violet light. .... Decided to try my hand painting with Acrylics over a black and white photograph to see what it could look like, and personally like this, and you may enjoy it also....

The South Kaibab Trail is a hiking trail in Grand Canyon National Park, located in the U.S. state of Arizona. Unlike the Bright Angel Trail which also begins at the south rim of Grand Canyon and leads to the Colorado River, the South Kaibab Trail follows a ridge out to Skeleton Point allowing for 360-degree views of the canyon.

The trailhead for the South Kaibab Trail is located off of the Yaki Point Road, which is closed to private vehicles. The trailhead can be accessed via either the Rim Trail or the free Grand Canyon National Park shuttle bus. From the trailhead, the trail heads north.

From Ooh-ahh Point, the trail turns around a few switchbacks in a natural break in the Coconino Sandstone until Cedar Ridge, where the trail begins to level off slightly. Below, the trail continues north around the east site of O'Neill Butte, descending gradually through the Hermit Shale and Supai Group to Skeleton Point, three miles from the trailhead. After Skeleton Point, the trail begins a sharp descent through a natural break in the Redwall Limestone.
