Three Days of Plein Air Painting at Zion National Park

 The weather is so wonderful in southern Utah that we decided to go plein air painting in Zion National Park. The sun was shining and it was literally perfect for outdoor painting in February! We enjoyed a couple of nights in Virginia Howard's lovely home at Zion Ridge and painted three days. So great to be outdoors when winter seems like summer.

Zion National Park Art Invitational 2025

We were greeted by wonderful warm weather for the week of painting in Zion National Park. The magnificent Yellow leaves on the Cottonwoods added drama to every scene. I was pleased to sell nine paintings at the Gala event Friday and during the live paint-out on Saturday. It was so much fun being with the other 14 invited artists and meeting so many new and repeat collectors. Thanks to Worthington Gallery and the Zion Forever Project for sponsoring this event which supports the mission of Zion Park. Half of all sales went to the Forever Project.

I was excited to meet The Frampton family today who purchased my painting, "Sentinel Shadows"  along with a second painting, "The Perfect Morning." It was a delight meeting them and find out she had been looking at my work for a long time on line. What a joy to have precious collectors support my work.
