Most Barrier Canyon Style (BCS) rock art examples are pictographs that have been painted on the rock using a red/orange/pink or white pigment. The Great Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon (http://utahpetrographs.blogspot.com/2013/08/horseshoe-canyon.html), the Buckhorn Draw (http://utahpetrographs.blogspot.com/2013/07/buckhorn-draw.html) and Head of Sinbad (http://utahpetrographs.blogspot.com/2013/07/head-of-sinbad-pictograph-panel.html) pictographs are classic examples.
However, I did run into a small example of a BCS petroglyph in Short Canyon. Petroglyphs were chipped or pecking into the stone using a harder stone as a chisel. The example below was very faint and only eight or ten inches small. But is certainly looks BCS to me.

That should be "Great Gallery."
