| "View from the Sedona Airport" watercolor, 9" x 12" |
I’ve already mentioned that the smoke from the Slide Fire
was really present in Sedona in the mornings. But sometimes you could see smoke
in the early evenings too. On Sunday night we went up to the local airport to
get a good view of the mesas. In one direction the smoke was very obvious, but in
the other, the sky was clear.
We had an early dinner at the Mesa Grill and afterwards I asked them if I could do a painting from their back patio.
They cheerfully agreed, and out I went, to paint a far mesa behind the airport.
This proved to be a good vantage point for painting, except for one thing — the occasional jet
exhaust! But you need to be flexible to paint en plein air. And for
me, it is well worth the inconveniences.
