12/30 Zion drawings- family sunset

This black and white drawing doesn't do the colors in my reference photo justice. The colored are beautiful and I hope to capture them in my colored print but for now your just going to have to take my word.

10/30 Zion drawings- old time tour

Visitors to the park can take a horse guided tour like they did in the founding of the park. Walking through rivers and over rock formations, it's a beautiful way to experience the park. Well I would imagine it is. I haven't taken a horse guided tour but it looks wonderful. 

9/30 Zion drawings- Mountain top Victories

At the tops of these mountain, people can be observed celebrating their courage, determination, and will power. With arms stretched victoriously out wards like Olympic athletes after a race, hikers take moments to enjoy the beauty of the landscape. Through pictures they document the emotions of satisfaction and excitement and accomplishment. This was fun for me to feel myself as I hiked through Zion park as well as see other hikers experience this.

From the top of the canyon peaks, you get a greater sense for just how wonderful this place is. How for thousands of years before, the Virgin river has cut and carved the canyons now standing thousands of feet above the ground. These are incredible views. And off in the distance you see the road, bringing your memory back to where you started and remembering how far you came. 

7/30 Zion drawings- the accent

Angels landing is a beautiful hike and a beautiful rock formation. It jets out from the other mountainous cliffs and has sheer cliff edges on either side. There is just a narrow land bridge that you hike to reach the top. While holding on to chains for support, hiking up this mountain makes you question your determination and sanity. But as you keep hiking, keep putting one foot on front of the other, you get closer and closer to the top and a new fire of excitement burns within. Fron the top the views are breathtaking. Well breathtaking is more of what you experience hiking up Angels Landing but the views are also breathtaking.

Again there are so many people leaving the luxuries of modern life to reconnect with nature. Taking time out to explore the beautiful aspects of life around them. This is what I wanted to focus on with my art in this project.
