There are places, and Zion National Park in Utah, USA, is one of them, where the natural landscape is so majestic, so sweeping, so incredibly different from a delightful country meadow (although there are those there, too) that one gapes in awe at the vista.

Natural vertical rock edifices rise from seemingly nowhere, reaching out and up to the sky, daring one to try to reach their peaks.

And many people do take up that dare, some of them experienced rock climbers who scale the craggy faces of the cliffs. Others are not professional rock climbers, but rather, tourists and visitors who decide to take a hike along the many trails in the park.

I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 13 years have focused exclusively on fine art.
