Painting the Red Rocks of Southern Utah again

On Memorial Day Weekend I had a chance to paint some quick watercolor sketches during rest breaks while canoeing on the Colorado River (11 miles) and hiking in Arches and Canyonlands (8 miles) National Parks! Amazing scenery and fantastic exercise.

I'm told there's no fashion show on the trail.

Watercolors in Winter

Haven't had much chance to paint outdoors. Here are four small (6"x 8.5") watercolors of Utah from photos.
