Carlsbad Cavern Painting

I love rocks, especially smooth, round ones, or ones with holes in them. While my husband looks for colorful agates and jasper, I prefer shades of brown, black, gray, and white. Imagine my amazement when I recently visited Carlsbad Cavern. Here was an endless variety of shapes and textures in my favorite shades, dramatically lit by spotlights. So why is my painting of Carlsbad filled with blue and yellow and bright red? Because that is my emotional reaction to those beautiful stalagtites and stalagmites. That's how they make me feel inside.
