The colors around Page, AZ and Lake Powell vary from deep reds and pinks to orange and yellow. It's a pretty great variety. While there I was taken with this rock formation peeking above the lake and had to get color notes.

| Lone Rock, Lake Powell, AZ in my Moleskine watercolor book, gouache, pen and ink- the streaks in the sky are from dried paint bits getting stuck in my brush. Oh well! |
I love working in my travel journals because it's fun to dash a little painting out willy-nilly and not worry too much about precision. More relaxing than a hot bath! I think this spot in the world would transfer to a larger painting pretty well. May have to go for that.
Thanks for stopping by! Alice

Beautiful! Amazing how much better we do with less time and less stress in smaller paintings. I do agree that this warrants a larger version though. Love the colors!
The reflections in this are yummy! I can't imagine I will ever get to the point that painting is relaxing for me (particularly if I never pick up a brush...), but as writing does the same thing for me, I can certainly relate.
I keep mulling over what medium to try with it and thinking one of each just to see what I get would be interesting. Glad you like it.
I'll paint, you write and one of these days we'll get it together and make a collaborative work, Juliana!
