On the Colorado River, in the Grand Canyon, the beauty of the Redwall dominates all other strata. Here the iron oxides from the Hermit shale above have stained the greyish white limestone down to a luscious earth red hue. We can see the exposed white color of the limestone when weakened slabs of the Redwall collapse and fall into the river. I never cease to be amazed by the color palette on display along the river. It is indeed a spectacle worthy of a king.
PETER ALLEN NISBET is a nationally recognized master of the American landscape. His works are strongly rooted in the Realist tradition of nineteenth-century artists such as Thomas Moran and Albert Bierstadt. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and a former U.S. Naval officer with service in Vietnam. Nisbet moved to the Southwest in 1980 to commence a successful painting career that has now spanned over four decades. His work resides in the permanent collections of the Eiteljorg Museum, the Booth Museum, the Tucson Museum of Art, the Fred Jones, Jr. Museum of Art, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and numerous private collections worldwide.
