"Lake Powell Panorama" original watercolor
by Roland Lee
“This exhibit represents a potpourri of personal images from
my forays into the canyons of southern Utah. Some of the places may
seem familiar, others may not. Some are majestic, while others are intimate.
My goal was to capture the vistas in a way that shows my love and respect
for the land which I call home.
As an artist I have had the opportunity to travel and paint some of
the most beautiful places in the world. But always when I return to
my home in the Canyon Country of Southern Utah, I feel a sense of peace
and comfort that I can find nowhere else. My own pioneer ancestors struggled
to tame this land and make it blossom. In the end they realized that
this land has a will of its own that is not easily tamed. Even today
nature’s forces can convert our lovely golf courses and comfortable
homes into sandy river bottom material in just minutes.
Civilizations may come and go here, but the earth remains--being shaped
and re-shaped by the forces of water, wind, and time. The result is
an incredible array of towers and canyons—land turned up on edge
revealing the underbelly of time gone by. Geologists and vacationers
alike travel here from all over the globe to get a first hand glimpse
of it. For me, this land clutches my soul and pulls me in with a power
that is unstoppable. My response is to let go and allow it to swallow
me up. I am content in Canyon Country and will probably be exploring
its hidden places and painting its vistas until the day I die.”
