Here’s another painting of Havasu Canyon at one of the waterfalls on the creek near to its mouth at the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The incredible turquoise color of the water is caused by carbonate minerals, which also create beige and pink travertine formations.
I love to paint Havasu whenever we raft the Grand Canyon.

The photo below shows me packing up after a morning of painting on Havasu Creek, ready to hike back out to the river and the rafts.
