Grand Canyon, Thursday, April 16, 1925-
Stofanm went to Bas Camp today to find
his clinometer, but another car had been there yester-
day and probably took it away. He then spent the
day collecting and got a fine lot of Kaibab pine.
He says birds begin to appear 140 feet above
the Coconino. The Bass' trail goes to the foot
of Fred Mountain.
I started the morning sketching on Herdman
Point and then walked another mile or so still
further east.
At Lunch I again met the Swedish artist
Mr. Frid Fors and pointed out to him the features
and my ideas of the colors and structure that
an artist should put into his pictures. He uses
a lot of too much blue in the distance. All
afternoon I looked for blue, but saw none ex-
cepting slate in the afternoon in the darkest sha-
dows. Here it is a Blue Haell and no other colors
strike through it as Frid Fors paints. He works
in open- class.
