"Park Avenue View"
9" x 12" oil
© 2004 Deborah Nelson
(SOLD)
Prints, Cards...
The Park Avenue
formation in Arches National Park is named for the sheer walls on both
sides of Courthouse Wash which reminds the visitor of New York.
At this location you will see excellent
examples of the three major rock formations found in the park, the Navajo
Sandstone, the Carmel Mudstone formation and the Entrada Sandstone.
A beautiful time to take pictures at the Park Avenue viewpoint is between
3:00 and 5:00 p.m., in the early spring or fall. The sky then is likely
to be extremely deep blue, which makes a fabulous setting for the coral
red sandstone.

"Partition Arch"
16" x 24" oil
© 2003 Deborah Nelson
(SOLD)
Prints, Cards... This is a large version of the
miniature below.
My husband and I were hiking in the Arches
National Park. Our longest hike was almost over. We were very hot, tired and thirsty as the trailhead came
into sight. However, a trail marker pointing the way to the
Partition and Navajo Arches caught our attention. We did not succumb to
our fatigue, but went ahead and took in the two sites. How
glad we were that we made the journey! Both formations are worthy of being
painted. |

"Tetons"
4" x 6" oil

(SOLD)
Prints, Cards...
My husband and I were driving through the
valley at the base of the Tetons when I realized what a beautiful
scene was in the foreground. We stopped and I was able to get a series of
photos and sketches.
This scene was one of my favorites because
it had a sense of majesty and peace. There were both horses and
mules grazing with wildflowers in abundance.
