NEW WORKS FROM THE STUDIO OF ART BY WENDY
Steve and I in our
Official Grand Canyon Picture
We just
got back from a great trip to the Grand Canyon, we flew down to Vegas, rented a
car and then drove around. It was a
really wonderful trip. We saw lots of new things, loved the Canyon, fell deeply
in love with Sedona, enjoyed the lovely warm weather and then after 2 weeks we headed home.
This was definitely
the highlight of our trip, rafting 40 miles on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon!
OAK CREEK CANYON - 5 X 7
Who would
have thought there would be such beautiful lush green places in Arizona? Yes I tried my hand at a little painting.
COFFEE POT ROCK - 5 X 7
My first
attempt at painting the overwhelming scenery in Sedona. This was a challenge in some many ways: hot winds dry your paint as soon as you mix them; watching for bugs, after I saw a display of the spiders there I was a little leery; overwhelming scenery to condense onto my little page. It was really fun trying but as I said, challenging!
CATHEDRAL HILL - 4 X 5.5
Yes, I even tried a quick sketch in my journal while we wondered around Red
Rock Park. Not bad for 15 minutes work!
We had a
great trip but it is nice to be home, even if it is much cooler and damper
here!!
Wendy,how wonderful that you got to go to the Grand Canyon! It is such a fabulous opportunity to be inspired by the scenery there. I especially like the little sketch of Red Rock.
ReplyDeleteCan`t wait to see what else you produce from the trip.
Great pictures Wendy, the rafting looks like a blast.
ReplyDeleteThe scenery is spectacular, Wendy! And kudos to you and Steve for daring the river-rafting!!! It must have been such a thrill.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing more work inspired by the trip.
