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.
