Delicate Arch

Watercolor painting of Delicate Arch, Arches National Park UT

Delicate Arch | Watercolor on Paper | 10″ x 8″ | 2017

A long, sometimes steep hike on the red rocks at Arches National Park leads us to one of nature’s magnificent masterpieces, ‘The Delicate Arch’. There is no structure that is parallel to its beauty, having been perfected over many million years before we parasites arrived!

Unbound expression

“Unbound Expression” with Act 2 | Acrylic pour on Canvas | 24″x18″

An artist’s effort and journey never ends. They seek to grow as unbound as the great oceans. This painting focuses on the mind of an artist who has seen light, it is as calm as the depths and their expression as unbound as its roaring waves.
