On a driving trip to visit my son in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, I saved time to visit Bryce and Zion National Parks. Weather going was delightful so I stopped briefly in Zion.
On my return California, I went through a small colorful town settled in 1864 Panguitch, Utah ( http://panguitch.com ) and made a turn east to Bryce.
Definitely must go back to spend lots of time finding the best views for pastel paintings. Maybe Zion Lodge in the less touristed season would be suitable. It’s only 585 miles or 9 hours 22 minutes according to Mapquest from here!
Until the next sketch… peace, Heather

These are beautiful!
Thanks, Karen. I love to travel to see new landforms and the light that surrounds them!
Lovely paintings of an area I recognize. The colors in the rocks are brilliant and the wild flowers sparkle against the dark burnt red ground as I remember.
