The Other Side of the Mountain

This is my third piece in my Zion NP series.  I thought about calling it "Beyond the Mt. Carmel-Zion Tunnel" but decided that "The Other Side of the Mountain" conveyed better the fun and adventure of going a little out of the way and discovering a place such as this, with the dreamlike topography, geometric patterns, and elusive wildlife.  Those are bighorn sheep in the painting.  On our vacation to Zion NP, Harry was the first to spot the sheep, and we sat in the sand near the location of this painting and watched them for an hour or more. 

I love patterns and geometry in nature. I hope that is coming through in this series, which is more realistic than some of my work of the past year.
