Standing on the South Rim and looking out over the Grand Canyon filled the Artist, Kitty Lynne Klich, with a deep sense of awe! The rugged beauty of this untamed area has called many an artist to interpret it. Klich's choice to make the outcropping with the tree her focal point, was carefully decided so that more of the Grand Canyon could be seen beyond. The changing colors of the Canyon are a feast for an artist's eyes.

Millions of years ago, when Arizona was covered with forests, a change in climate over the years caused the forest to be covered and the trees to become petrified. One very unique spot in the Petrified Forest is the Agate Bridge. It is a large log that has been reinforced with cement to preserve it from the constant rushing of waters during the flood season. The ever changing beauty of the harsh landscape moved the Artist, Kitty Lynne Klich, to capture Agate Bridge, Petrified Forest, on her canvas.
