Wow it’s been a few months since I have written in this Blog. A lot has happened in my life since June, not as much painting as I would have hoped for but, I have had several fun trips to some beautiful Utah painting locations including; Bryce Canyon, Little Wild Horse Canyon, Fish Lake, Twelve Mile among others. I have been deer hunting, I ran a triathlon along with my wife, daughter-in-law and my brother. I also managed to pack in a little fresh water snorkeling.
In October, Rhonda and I spent some time hiking and biking around Moab and Arches National Park. I came home from Moab and painted a couple of palette knife paintings to commemorate our trip. I liked what I saw so I have decided to produce a series of natural arch paintings and see where they go. I envision a lot of hiking with Rhonda to see and paint some new arches. I have painted natural Arches before and those of you who know my fathers’ art work are aware that he was a serious painter of natural Arches and natural bridges. One of the very first paintings I ever made was of Delicate Arch. I was in fifth grade.
