Zion Day 3

Today was a whole new day. The clouds have parted and the sunlit up the canyon like Las Vegas. It’s like someone turned on the HD Technicolor switch….. and it goes to eleven.

No painting today, it was a gather research while the sun is shining, and it’s supposed to rain the next couple of days, sort of day.

I also spent time here and there with some of the Park personnel, Earl stopped by and installed some items in the cabin that didn’t get finished before I arrived. (toilet paper holder, towel rack and coat rack, and toothbrush holder)

I  met with Leslie  to give feedback on the weekend and she assigned me a gate key and pink permit that allows me in and out of the park, also she brought to the Grotto, a park radio that I can use in emergencies, which I hope to not have to turn on.

So, not a productive art day as far as anything visible but the foundation for the next couple of days is set up to paint some sunshine days no matter what it’s doing outside. I guess there are “Mondays” even out here.  

Here is my first little painting, most of what I paint out here will be 9x12 panels to be used as reference for larger pieces later, and to just paint faster. I have some 24x30 panels that I can paint larger pieces, they are mounted on foam-core and I can trim them down to whatever size I need.  They are all linen double-primed,Thank you  Chase. www.chasealmond.com
