We live about 3 hours from Arches National Park, so it’s a favorite place to visit in the spring. Last year our niece came to visit for Thanksgiving, in the hopes of skiing. Even though we had one of our biggest winters in awhile, there wasn’t snow yet in November, so we decided to road trip to Moab instead. We thought that we wouldn’t have many crowds since it was a holiday, but we forgot to take into account that foreigners don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, so there were quite a few people there. Nevertheless, we had a fabulous time. The best part of the trip was that I had just painted the Park the week before, so the paintings and colors were still really fresh in my mind.
The painting of Delicate Arch is of course the show stopper. Every time someone sees it they walk up closer to inspect it, saying “I thought it was a photograph!” As of this printing, four of the paintings are still available for purchase. Check them out; there are also canvas prints, pillows, note cards and more.
