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 SUMMER , is 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.
