I recently spent 5 nights camping at the Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona. It is a spectacular place I became acquainted with when l lived in Arizona 2007-2009. In this particular instance I knew I was going to paint what is called the 'organ pipe monument'. I was with my friend Tony Winton who I encouraged to take photographs of the hikes he took thru the Monument while I painted. I managed to do 2 30"x36" canvases over the course of 3 sessions. I am still considering some fine tuning possible but I don't really know if I will work on them any more.
2 different views of the organ pipe monument:
a couple photos by Tony of me painting
and a few more of
Tony's photos of some of the Chiricahuas!
Definitely a place worth visiting and staying for a few days at least. Lots of hiking trails and a strong peace and quiet pervades the place.
