My husband and I were driving through the valley at the base ofthe Tetons when I realized what a beautiful scene was in the foreground. We stopped and I was able to get a series of photos and sketches. This scene was one of my favorites because it hada sense of majesty and peace. There were both horses and mules grazing with wildflowers in abundance.

The Park Avenue formation in Arches National Park is named for the sheer walls on both sides of Courthouse Wash which reminds the visitor of New York. At this location you will see excellent examples of the three major rock formations found in the park, the Navajo Sandstone, the Carmel Mudstone formation and the Entrada Sandstone. A beautiful time to take pictures at the Park Avenue viewpoint is between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m., in the early spring or fall. The sky then is likely to be extremely deep blue, which makes a fabulous setting for the coral red sandstone.

My husband and I were hiking in the Arches National Park. Our longest hike was almost over. We were very hot, tired and thirsty as the trailhead came into sight. However, a trail marker pointing the way to the Partition and Navajo Arches caught our attention. We did not succumb to our fatigue, but went ahead and took in the two sites. How glad we were that we made the journey! Both formations are worthy of being painted. I painted "Partition Arch" twice. This painting is 16" x 24". I also painted a miniature.
