'Desert Oasis'. 5x7. Pastel
We have to say goodbye to Sedona and make our way back home to Georgia. But we made it a great day. Holly and I started the day by hiking t o the top of the Airport Vortex. Well she went to the top. I stopped a bit shy. I'll blame it on on my shoes but I am not a big fan of sheer cliffs an steep drop offs.
Next we went to a wonderful little spot in Sedona recommended by the lady in the bird store. It is called the Sedona Wetlands and is a series of ponds created from reclaimed waste water . It is still a work in progress but it is a beautiful spot of green and blue among all of the red rocks. I did three daily paintings based on the Sedona Wetlands.
'Wetland Trails'. 5x7. Pastel
'Summer Sunshine'. 5x7. Pastel
I admit that I didn't paint these on location. It was getting very hot and there was no shade. Instead I came back to the cottage and sat on the patio to paint. I looked at my camera display. It really isn't a bad way to simplify a painting because you sure can't see much detail on a camera display!
Here are some photos of the wetlands. I was happy to spot three Black Crowned Night Herons!
And lots of happy little sunflowers.
