Painting #1 Nearly Done

By now the canvas was so full it reminded me of Newspaper Rock, the famous petroglyph panel near Canyonlands National Park.  Now there's an incredible piece of collaborative art -- created over the past 1,500 to 2,000 years!
I worked to intensify some of the fainter figures, and to surround the images with color, in order to bring all this diversity into a context.  Forty people between the ages of 2 and 55 had contributed to the painting during six visits to the lake, and it was nearly done!
