Description
I often encourage anyone that goes to Zion National Park to plan it during a full moon. A fantastic place for lovers to experience together. The lofty two to three thousand foot sheer vertical cliffs softly illuminated by a full moon, provide an unforgettable experience. In this painting we are just across the Virgin River from the Organ...a 700 foot high rock formation that resembles a giant pipe organ. To the right we see Angels Landing at 1500 feet above the river and the planet Venus, and to the left we can see The Great White throne rising almost a vertical half mile into the night sky. There is a slight mist from the river that creates subtle moonbeams and the sound of gentle rapids makes for a very ethereal experience.

Art By LaRoque
Definitely my most favorite so far, Jerry, this scenery is magical, the peaceful and yet majestic Moon covering all that she can touch with her silverish, comforting light. The beautiful planet Venus complements the moment and definitely stands out. A perfect full-moon night for lovers or not, but I would add, for all the poets in heart.
Jerry Bokowski replied:
You are an artist with words, LaRoque. Your observant comments are a pleasure to read. Thank you so much!

CONGRATULATIONS JERRY...JULY 2020 FAA TONY AWARD WINNER!! This is one of my favorites of your Desert beauties! It boasts BEAUTY in GRAND SCALE! Underpinning all of your work is a CONSISTENT emotive respect for the deep contrasts of Light and Shadow as well as earthen colours set against emboldened, dramatic skies!! Enjoy this award...so well deserved! LF
Judi Dressler
Wow, I honestly just got goosebumps looking at your painting, Jerry! Stunning work! Though I have backpacked in Utah many times, I've never made it to Zion -- it's on my list. f/l
Jerry Bokowski replied:
As massive as its towering cliff walls are, Zion is a relatively small place compared to the amount of visitors it gets. That, said, just walking through the main areas can be much more solitary. Then some of the back country trails are very solitary. The rugged layers and colors of Zion are unique and spectacular. I never tire of visiting Zion. You would fall in love with it, Judi!
Chance Kafka

Zion under a full moon is undescribable, Danielle. Solitude and majesty all around. Thank you for your thoughts. Painted this way back in 1991.

Susanna Katherine
This provides a special mood because of the turquoise blue (on my monitor at least) (my second favorite color...lol)...and it looks like Venus shining so bright.
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Turquoise found in much of our Native American jewelry, Susana. They often set up stands near Sedona, Grand Canyon, and on the way to Zion. Thank you for commenting on this painting I did so long ago!
