Grand Canyon Sky-Walk The trip went pretty good and the experiences at each stop were just amazing! The Grand Canyon South Rim, Sky-Walk at the Grand Canyon West Rim and the view from all angles was unforgettable! The IMAX Movie show about the Grand Canyon was an incredibly different and breathtaking experience! Las Vegas! A complete different world! The Casinos, the Hotels, New York, New York, Shows, Light-n-Sound- Musical Fountain show, Volcano eruption show, the pirates show, each and every minute was a thrilling experience. Grand Canyon

I am inspired by one of the artist blogger  DJ's Studio .  I decided to post some thing every day if not a painting, an explanation. This will be my post till I reach California. I am starting early hours tomorrow on a road trip to California. My son is here with me from India. So I thought we will have more fun and get to see a lot if we travel by road. I will be taking pictures and post them when I get a chance. I am also dreaming about Grand Canyon! I have seen lots of pictures  at work as a framer and I would love to take some in this visit and use them as reference for my abstract painting. Once i reach California, I have to get ready for the show. Shipped all my paintings, haven't finished the varnishing yet, some canvas needs stretching. Still lots of work! I hope I will receive all my paintings in a good shape! Thank you all and wish me good luck.

It is very difficult to replicate any of these paintings. But I will give it a try.  Thanks for looking.  This is what I am looking for.

Yupo Paper is the most versatile paper I have used so far.  It is a synthetic, plastic like paper and used for business cards and so on.   YUPO is the waterproof, tree-free Synthetic Paper with properties that make it the perfect solution for a variety of marketing, design, packaging and labeling needs. Check the web site here: http://www.yupousa.com/paper/applications/artists A big advantage is if you are not satisfied with the painting, before it dries, you can just wipe it all off with water and start over. I used Acrylics, watercolors on this paper and it works perfect.  Can do lot of experiments to achieve different textures.   One method I would like to discuss here is lifting. We need two sheets of yupo paper for this method. Lay out the yupo sheet you are going to paint on top of a flat surface or a water color board.
