There is a place outside Safford, Arizona, that has canyons like these, and there is a place by that name. This piece shows a lot of Mr. Empie's use of the palette knife. When he would use 'the knife' for a paint application he said it was just like spreading peanut butter! One can spend a lot of time in this scene.
