American Fork Canyon is one of my favorite places to paint! Nearly every place you look is a potential painting waiting to happen. This is at a little campground/picnic area called "Swinging Bridge" (even though the swinging bridge was replaced with two more stable bridges long ago.) I created this diptych on two consecutive Friday mornings, from nearly the same spot, at the same time of day, facing different directions. (Hence, the title.) I created these in early fall, when the leaves were just starting to turn. The crisp morning air was the perfect temperature and the river was still rushing, and a fly fisherman even walked right into the picture plane so I added him too! The entire experience was so blissful (week one) that I decided to repeat it looking the opposite direction (week two). I love the way they work as a set. Each was completed entirely en plein air with my easel set up on one of the bridges.
