Visit to Sedona


These are pages from my journal, created during our visit to Sedona, Arizona last week. The place is awe-inspiring, especially when we took the Pink Jeep Tour on the Broken Arrow Trail. We slid down rocks in the jeep and drove on top of buttes, and the views were amazing. I am working on my first painting of Sedona's red rocks, so different a palette from my Florida paintings.

There is a beautiful arts and crafts village called Tlaquepaque, and after only four days I finally learned to pronounce it.

    I love your notebooks Carmen. They are like finding someone's treasured memories in an attic.
