"November at Slide Rock", plein air painting, by Kathryn Willis

November at Slide Rock, 12x16" oil on panel, Kathryn Willis

Slide Rock Park in Oak Creek Canyon (north of Sedona, AZ) is one of my favorite places to paint. Much of the year it is overrun with tourists, but since I just live up the mountain about 20 miles, I can pick the best days to go, and be there in 30 minutes. This painting was done on a particularly beautiful fall day a couple of weeks ago. Golden autumn colors, rugged red rocks, a clear canyon creek, deep purple shadows on a warm November morning--what more could a painter ask for?

This is one of my paintings from the Sedona Plein Air Invitational. I didn't have the values quite deep enough, but I loved the colors and composition. So, I repainted some of this one today. This was painted during the quick draw at Tlaquepaque, a unique shopping area. It has the feel of old Mexican buildings. There are so many things to paint in this area.

I took off during the middle of the day to grocery shop, ride my bike, etc. By the time I finished the painting it was too dark to photograph. I will rephotograph it in the morning and replace the photo. The colors are wonderful in this painting.

Talk to you all tomorrow.
