BADLANDS SKETCH

BADLANDS SKETCH
12" x 9" pastel on board
The heat enveloping the nation brings back memories of
my stay at the Petrified Forest National Park of Arizona.

As mentioned in earlier postings, I was awarded

an Artist-in-Residence at the Forest in 2009.

The two-week life experience was exhilarating

and challenging.



My previous post, A PAINTED SUMMERis a view of the 

Petrified Forest National Park's Badlands as I hiked down
onto the desert floor. Above, BADLANDS SKETCH was 
created at the highest point as seen from the Visitors 
Center, Painted Desert Inn.


And below is a picture of me working 

on my Badlands sketch.

  1. This is an awesome photo of the artist at work! Who took that for you? I love how your style comes through in both the badlands sketch and the donut! Very nice work! I learn a lot about colors and reflections from looking at your paintings.

  2. Thank you Katherine. The other Artist-in-Residence, Constance Baltuk Hartle, took the photo. After the 2- weeks opportunity we had a Kodak moment to capture our experience.
    And especially thanks for the referral on color and reflections!
