This Utah Juniper tree is growing in Monument Valley. A Navajo Tribal Park that straddles the Utah/Arizona border. This is a full sheet watercolor done on my first trip to Monument Valley in 1977 and was painted on location during the summer heat with a wife and 1.5 year old son, Jeff in the camper, getting impatient with me. I have been back here painting about 9 more times over the past 40 years and since that first time, it has always been alone.
