This is a select few members from The Southern Utah Plein Aire Society of which I am president. We are having a short show in April that will be hosted in Zions National Park so we went down to get some paintings done. We'll be going down as much as possible until April, hoping to get a good show togeather.
There are so manny things I love about Plein Aire Painting, bitter cold, scalding heat, glaring sun, and above all, nature. There was a little thrill seeking masquito who thought he would get a buzz from my oil paint and dragged himself through the block-in of my cliff and made a lovely trail into my sky. If it had been the color fo the trees below I would have been tempted to keep such a mark, but as it was it had to go.
Though blurry, there's the little devil. the southern utah red colored blob on the edge of my canvas.
and there's me working. I'll digitize the finished thing when I get around to it.

Hah! Serves you right - they can't all be flawless and I like knowing it has a story, it will only add to the final product. I'm jealous of all the time you're spending in Zion's though - can't wait to get back to REAL nature!
