Landscapes
Betsy Blair carries small drawing boards, brushes, paper, colored pencils, and palette with her while hiking in scenic places. She painted the watercolors above in Arches National Park, Death Valley National Park, Craggy Gardens, Lake Santeetlah, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park.
I feel very humble as I make an attempt to respond in a small way to the scene before me. Sometimes I feel totally overwhelmed and can’t paint a thing, but there is also something special about sitting with and responding to the complexity and glory of natural surroundings that is very significant to me.
