I have early great interest
in the old churches an castles of my homeland Thuringian in East
Germany, specially the sacred buildings, but also the powerful
geological rock formations of the Grand Canyon and the beauty
Southwest of the United States.
In the sixty years I had an old adventure book from the Grand
Canyon researcher John Wesley Powell. This was wonderful! I'm
fascinate of the fantastic rock-formations, towers and walls and
the power of the Colorado River from Marble Canyon, the narrow
Inner Gorge, the Havasu Canyon, the Tonto Plateau, the Toroweap
Point and the great Hoover Dam in the Black Canyon. The colerful
Sand and Limestone and the Little Colorado River near Cameron,
the Oak Creek Canyon and the Red Rocks near Sedona,
|
The Canyon
de Chelly, the Painted Desert, the old mining town Jerome and Prescott
and the Catalina Mountains in Southern Arizona, besides the old
Spanish missions.
Wonderful the Coconino Plateau and the highest San Francisco Mountains
in Spring and Fall times. I have great interest on the trees and
plants from the North and South Rim of Grand Canyon and the vegetation
of the Inner gorge, analogous the European and Canadian plants.
Very impressive the rock formations in colossal Monument
Valley and the deep Gooseneck of San
Juan River in the Navajo land. I'm painting intensive at the next
weeks in hot Inner Grand Canyon, Toroweap Point, Monument Valley,
Zion NP., Death Valley and the Yosemite NP. for a new art book.
