CLOUDS AT THE TEPEES 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matt, glass + black frame $150 + $15 insured priority shipping Still daydreaming over my Artist-in-Residence  at the Petrified Forest  National Park in Arizona  four years ago.  Upon arriving I caught the tail-end of their monsoon  season  and let me tell you, boy did it rain!  But what was so glorious,  was that there would be a downpour  off in the distance  yet dry  where I was standing. And I could feel the wind  whipping  away  with vibrant and colorful colors flashing! Above is a petite painting of the Tepees, that are colorful  rock  formations located  dead center between the Painted Desert  and the Petrified Forest. 

Pastel Sketch / Sketching at the Painted Desert / Painted Desert Pastel Remember that old saying "Time flies"? It definitely does! I was just reminiscing today about my travels to the Petrified Forest  National Park in Arizona and amazed that it has been exactly four years. I was  juried in as one of the Park's 2009 Artist-in-Residents,  where I lived for two weeks within a three-room historical adobe  at the Park. Across the road from my front door was a panoramic view of the Painted Desert. Breathe-taking!
