paintings scanned and reproduced on canvas
"Spring Thaw"
12" x 15"
"Red Wave"
12" x 12"
"What Is Dangerous, What Is Not"
12" x 12"
makes them much easier to share, a bit smaller AND less expensive than the originals.
I have coated them with some textured clear acrylic so they actually look like paintings (and are protected from the elements)

New Uranium Mining near and in Grand Canyon?
https://secure3.convio.net/lcv/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=608
The above link is for those who'd like to sign a petition to stop any new mining in and around the Grand Canyon.
As the march of "progress" continued the Grand Canyon was chosen for preservation so that it could be enjoyed as it is in a natural state. The theory being that some places are just too spectacular to be destroyed. A left leaning liberal arguement would be that we have done enough damage to the environment, and need to stop the trend of mining at all costs. A right leaning arguement is more fiscally driven and uses the rational "conservative" means being cautious and slow moving because we don't need to just jump right in a raid our country's resources in a haphazard fashion. In short, there are mines that exist, and technology that is being developed that would make this type of mining uneccessary.
Regardless of your political leaning, I think that you can agree that the Grand Canyon, as a national treasure, and one of the great natural wonders of the world, is one of the last places that we need to exploit for energy needs. Let's look elsewhere, and preserve the Grand Canyon for future generations.

Grand Canyon sketchbook direct link
It is 48 pages long.
32 pages are full-page drawings.
It is a visual diary.
I'll leave this direct link up for only a short time, but I wanted boaters to be able to get this for a serious discount.
Feel free to share this link and discount code. But, I'd prefer it only goes to boaters. Non-whitewater folks can buy this through the normal Amazon.com channel when that page is complete.

New Year's Day celebration on the Grand Canyon
December 30 & 31 were cold, particularly at night. Everyone was tired, so we did an east coast standard time countdown on New Year's Eve (sort of). The next day was mostly flatwater. Everyone tied their kayaks to the rafts and hopped on board for a liesurely float. The sun broke through the clouds. By mid-day, most people were stripped down for the mild temps. It turned into a very silly, exceptionally fun celebration of the new year.
here is a link to an animated gif from that day

first photos from the Grand Canyon
http://artandwater.smugmug.com/GrandCanyonDec2010Jan2011/Scotts-small-camera/15337713_9it9j#1147735100_4AGpU
the Olympus camera only worked for about 4 days, but I got a shot or two that are nice.
The big SLR photos will take some work and I'll post them in a few weeks.
