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.
