We moved back to Los Abrigados Resort this morning and then hit the road to discover another painting spot. Our search took us towards Flagstaff and as we climbed to over 6000 feet the trees took on more and more fall colour. Finally we settled on a spot by a tributary of Oak Creek where there was a red rock face that overhang the creek and created a nice reflexion in the water. It was a beautiful little spot. I tried to capture the scene in paint but the light was ever changing so it is a challenge.
About 2:20 the clouds darkened the light went out and we made a hasty retreat as once again we dodged the weather after a beautiful morn.
This was the evening of the Artists reception, each of the 33 artists were allowed to hang 3 pieces and I must say most of them I would have happily owned. The variety of work and the fact that we are able to be so close and talk to the individual artists is a real treat. To hear their stories and to eavesdrop a bit to hear their exchanges with one another was much fun.
Most of them are well known locally or in other parts of the US and they are all represented by galleries and many of them teach.
Needless to say the prices for these pieces were high but I guess they can get it since they are all well established.
All in all another nice day.
