“And I think this is one of the
most fabulous parts of this year's decoration. This is a
magnificent painting of Zion National Park by Adrian
Martinez, a Pennsylvania artist. These -- the White House
carpenters built these frames and built a concave canvas
that would fit right in the niche -- these two niches that
are here in the Cross Hall. So after they built them, then
Adrian Martinez painted these two very magnificent
paintings. This is Zion National Park, Angel Falls; and the
other niche is the Grand Canyon from Hopi Point. And I think
they are really the two magnificent pieces of this year's
decorations.” |
