JOYE DeGOEDE JACK’S OUTSTANDING IN HIS FIELD

JAN DeLIPSEY VERMILLION ESCARPMENT

Jack rabbits are frequently on my favorite Arizona hiking trails. It is comical when they lower their ears to hide. Lowered ears really mean they are relaxed and trying to keep cool. Their ears up indicates curiosity or on alert. I can’t resist painting the sunlight showing through their ears!

I was speechless the first time I stood under the 3000 foot escarpment known as the Vermillion Cliffs. Unspoiled slick rock in a fantasy world of pale nooks, cool shadows and sunlit rock - a dream world for a painter of landscapes. Since that time, I have learned about her rock layers, landslides, rivers, history, ancient dwellings and “wilder than wild” wildlife. Why this fascination? I simply fell in love at first sight and am charmed by all things there. I am deeply moved by the manner in which the landscape elements speak to one another. Each time I go back, I fall head over heels all over again.
