Snow on the Rim
BERNARD MARKS WROTE ABOUT HIS GLORIOUSLY BRILLIANT OIL PAINTING “SNOW ON THE RIM”:
It was a bitterly cold day in early spring at the Grand Canyon when I did my plein air study for this painting. Not a day for watercolors, for sure!
I gave some thought to just taking photos for later use, but I decided to give it a try. I set up my easel near the popular Rim Trail and got a rough acrylic sketch of the breathtaking scene.
Passersby bundled up in their ski caps and down jackets were amazed that anyone would be out painting in such frigid weather. I assured them it wasn’t something I did very often. Later on, in my warm studio, I used that acrylic study and those photos as a guide for my finished “Snow on the Rim.” I felt then, and I still do feel, that the final result was worth enduring a few shivers on the rim.
