Monument Valley, Utah

Monument Valley is about 3 1/2 hours away from Zion National Park and such an awesome place to visit.  The colors in the sky reflected on the mountains and I really enjoyed painting this with pastels.
This will be my last painting for 2015!  It's so hard to believe that 2016 is around the corner...
such a busy time in the year for all of us.  I'm working on a pastel portrait for January!   Until then,
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR to all of my friends here on blog land! 

106 years young

I went to New Jersey today to visit with my Aunt and we celebrated her 106th birthday!  She is such an amazing, and beautiful Lady who now is looking forward to her 107th birthday!   This Friday the Mayor of her town will be visiting her and  I understand the media will be there as well!  She is a Phillies fan and always wanted to meet one of the players...  Hey!  you never know... lol   I love you Esperanza!!!
