A great trip to Capitol Reef, Utah this past fall.  I was able to do a number of sketches on location. This spot is right outside of Torrey.  A small little tourist town on the edge of Capitol Reef National Park.

The clouds were moving in and cast huge dark shadows on the hills.  The green where the sun hit appeared even more vivid and electric.  It just drew me in.

Painted in studio.  The pic is showing up on blogger more saturated then actual painting.
