Sweet Light at Palo Duro Canyon
BERNARD MARKS WROTE ABOUT HIS LOVELY “SWEET LIGHT AT PALO DURO CANYON” PAINTING:
Palo Duro Canyon State Park, located in the Texas Panhandle, encompasses the second largest canyon in the United States. Only the Grand Canyon in Arizona is larger.
Native Americans occupied this lovely spot for 12,000 years before the arrival of Spanish explorers. Later, cattlemen like the famous Charles Goodnight established ranches. “Palo Duro” is Spanish for “hard wood,” a reference to the abundant mesquite and juniper trees.
“Sweet Light at Palo Duro Canyon” refers to the light you get for the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset. Photographers and artists favor these times, because both the morning and the evening light are so gorgeous. And they know that in many cases, it’s hardly worth painting or shooting at any other time of day.
You’ll find two more of my paintings from Palo Duro Canyon on this website: “Third Crossing at Palo Duro Canyon” and “Fourth Crossing at Palo Duro Canyon.”
