Green River Evening

“Green River Evening” is a print that beautifully captures the serene green river and sculptured canyon lands of the Colorado Plateau.  Renowned artist Kathy Wipfler depicts the golden-hour lighting bathing the cliffs in rich colors that reflect expressively upon the waters revealing subtle ripples and color variations that show a masterful handling of light and reflection by the artist.  The sandstone cliffs rise behind the river saturated in sunlight revealing the sweeping streaks of weather marks known as “desert varnish’ streaking down the walls and illuminated in the light.  The bald eagle majestically soars overhead surveying the richness of this classic southwest scene and the reflective mood of the river.

Kathy Wipfler is an award winning painter whose works are spread throughout the most prestigious Western art and wildlife museums.  Her “plein air” painting style often takes her out into the wilderness with her subject matter.  One of the treasured great American Artists of the west, she reveals the western landscapes in all their glory as can be appreciated in the serenity of this “Green River Evening”.
