All Stones Canyon, Alberta



This is a canyon in the Rockey Mountains near the Big Horn Dam. As you can see, the rock formations in this canyon are really unusual. They seem to have been twisted and pulled like toffee. Although the rock was red I did exaggerate the colour somewhat, near the base there are small veins of coal. Traveling in this area one has to be aware of and on the lookout for grizzlies. In a small box canyon, not a good place to meet one.
The medium is watercolour and pencil crayon. Watercolour was used in the sky and as a base for the pencil crayons.
