Description
In 2009, my Wife and I brought our bicycles to Zion National Park. We wanted to ride the Parus Bike Trail. It is a trail that is great for bikes, wheelchairs, or a nice stroll. It runs along the Virgin River and features several bridges over the river. I took a photograph of the famous geologic formation called the Watchman that towers over the valley from one of the bridges to use as a reference for a future painting. I decided to add fog and river mist to the painting as I have seen Zion this way on several occasions. New light green leaves adorn the trees that indicate Spring is finally here. The sound of white water and the fresh, moist canyon scent enhance the whole visual experience. Can you tell that I love this place?!

This is beautiful Jerry. It is obvious that you love this place. My husband and have only been once, but would love to go back again some day.
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Thank you Linda. The first time there we just drove through it ( before shuttle service ). We loved it so have been back many times and have hiked almost all of the famous trails. If you two ever go again, let me know so I can offer some suggestions on great places to see or hike!

Oh I'm sure they will adore your work...I wish you the best on your venture..Lisa
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Lisa, Thank you for your vote of confidence. I am just starting to look for a gallery in Utah that will enthusiastically represent my work. Springdale at the entrance to Zion is my first choice. Regardless, it should be a fun trip!
Lisa Phillips
More beautiful than words can describe, you are very talented Jerry...:) Lisa l/f
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Lisa, I am happy you feel that way about this. I hope the galleries up in Zion share the same feelings when I visit them next month. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this with me!
