Thanks for the invitation to participate. I am very excited to be a part of this blog.
This page in my journal happened because I was too nervous to hike all the way to the top of Telescope Peak in Death Valley. My adventure loving husband and my sister went on to the top and I had a rare opportunity to sit in a beautiful place and take the time to really observe what was around me. It took about an hour and a half for the sister and husband to get to the top and come back and pick me up. Normally I don't have time to sit outside and draw. I usually draw from reference materials and then spend a lot of time in front of my computer manipulating my images, so it was great to be a part of such a beautiful place for a short time.
What a gorgeous location...I'm so glad you got the chance to spend time there..
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember to try this when I'm with others hiking and want to have some painting time! I envy your calligraphy skills. The painting turned out so beautifully, and I can't believe the waitress said that...
ReplyDeleteI have a bum knee and can't walk far! No, really! I can't...and hey, I have to entertain myself while I wait, right? ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pages Gay, but I remember being at the continental divide and had about 50ft to walk up and I couldn't take one of those steps without sitting down for awhile. I quit and waited on everyone else. Wished I'd spent my time doing what you did.
