Zion Essence 9x12 ” oil - studio I needed to paint a Zion scene- I was going thru withdrawals. I don’t go to Zion very often in the summer- too many people and so hot. Instead I look at my pics and found this scene from a jeep adventure. I love this view of West Temple- it shows the magnitude of the rock formations. available msg me or website link in bio. #westtemple #znp #maryjabensart #windowtomysoul #zion #southernutah #goodforthesoul #utahrocks #livinglife #womenartistofthewest #womenartistofinstagram #utahig #optoutdoors #keeppainting #wander_souls #southwestlife #naturelover ##boldbrushpaintingcompetition #artforsalebyartist #feelinghappy #boldbrush #exploreutah #mhoilpaints #dailypaintworks #cedarcityarts #paintdaily #allaprima #contemporarypainting #contemporaryartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZ4l1_n85f/?utm_medium=tumblr

Edge of the World- West Temple~ 9x12” oil ~ I love the Kolob Terrace Road. There is a view for any painting mood I’m in. This scene stops me every time. I still feel like I haven’t quite captured its personality but I’m getting closer. Available msg me or website link in bio.

Zion Happiness- 9x13” oil - A friend stopped while I was painting this and mentioned I looked happy. That does my heart wonders considering the unhappiness that has weaved itself in and out of my life since Rich died. I could banish unhappiness completely if I could bottle the zen that takes place while I’m painting. Instead I will take the peace and joy when it comes and be thankful.

On my easel: West Temple Trail. I finished up this 30x15” (huge size for me 😊). I am starting to get my rhythm on the bigger studio pieces. I envision I’m working on 6 small ones together What I really like is I could chop this one up into 6 smaller ones which tells me the painting is working. Onward to the other larger ones sitting in disgrace on my studio floor. Evidently this ones magic did not pass on to the others! Any tips on painting large in the studio? #. #On my easel: West Temple Trail. I finished up this 30x15” (huge size for me 😊). I am starting to get my rhythm on the bigger studio pieces.

West Temple- Morning Gentleness - 9x12” oil - I wasn’t liking the end result of this plein air piece so did a little tweaking. I think it’s a better visual statement now. I love the gentleness of the piece. Available - msg me or website link in bio.

Fall Colors of Zion, 12x16" oil. I am happy to wrap this one up and take it to the Sears Art Show that takes place in Feb. this view is from Kolob Terrace looking towards Zion. I love the fall colors against the diffused mountains that are always standing guard over the valley. #fallcolor #zionnationalpark #znp #westtemple #southernutah #goodforthesoul #arttherapy #artofthewest #womenartistsofinstagram #womenartistsofthewest #landscapepainting #studiopainting https://www.instagram.com/p/BszXM0Dg7nk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hzoakb8hdl3j

Around the Bend-12x16" oil. My second studio piece for the Zion Plein Air. Every time I'm in Zion I eagerly anticipate what is next around the the bend. The paintings follow that joy of discovery! #utahrocks #zionnationalpark #exploreutah #zionpleinairartinvitational #westtemple #artforsale #arttherapy #allaboutthejourney #utahig #utahart #utahgram #utahlife #goodforthesoul #womenartistsofthewest #southernutah #redrocks
