trip to the desert

I took a long weekend and went to the desert in Utah last week. The weather was fantastic and I got in some good pleinair painting time. This first one I did the evening before I left town.
My plan was to stop on the way down and do a quick study, but it was too windy. When I got to camp I was frustrated that I was unable to paint, so I decided to try and paint the fire. Sorry about the glare. 
  These next four I did on Thur. in or just outside of Canyon Lands national park, the Needles District



Thur evening some friends showed up, so Fri and Sat I spent with them hiking and carrying on. I was able to find time in the mornings to do these next two paintings from camp.
