I got to experience an incredibly rejuvenating trip to Zion National Park with some of my favorite people a few weeks ago and the colors are still dancing in my mind. Rich and heavily saturated reds, coppers, pinkish clays, sandy browns, and the surprisingly natural, striking chartreuse. It felt very “meant to be” since just days before I was working on an earth toned piece that I wasn’t loving, and I felt very unsure of where to take it. On our first night in Zion, inspiration struck as I saw all the colors around me take shape on the unfinished panel left at home. “A-ha! This is what I was missing!” I couldn’t wait to return to bring my vision to life. To properly capture the vastness that is Zion, I used multiple kinds of paint while working in layers to create depth, movement, and texture that can be seen from all angles.
