Plein Air, Oi, 9"x12" Cathedral of the Ancient Ones
I debate adding a few birds or a couple of people (dots) in the distance. Unless you are familiar with this scene, you may not grasp the magnificent scale of this ancient rock formation. Anyone who has not visited Arches National Park, this sight, known as Park Avenue, is quite dramatic and breathtaking. In the aprx. 4 1/2 hours I painted, I'm sure thousands of people, many from bus tours, stopped by to take a look and many stood behind me to watch. It's par for the course when you paint on site, especially in areas heavily visited by tourists. Many look at a distance and several will strike up a conversation. I generally don't mind. I just keep painting and they usually have somewhere to go and only stay a few minutes.
