By Bruce,

I am currently working on a watercolor of Sipapu Natural Bridge, Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah. Finished size will be 12”W x 17”H. I have attached a photo of Sipapu Natural Bridge on the right, along with a photo of the work in progress on the left. There will be two Anasazi Indians in the picture to give it some sense of scale. The Anasazi lived here from about AD 750 to 1300. Their cliff dwellings and grain storage structures can be seen throughout this area. I may call the painting “Anasazi Tourists”.

Sipapu Natural Bridge

This is a special place for me, perhaps my all-time favorite area. There are many different canyons to explore and the place hasn’t really changed that much since I first came through here in 1974. Other than the main road now being paved it still retains its wildness.

Sipapu is special to me for another reason also. In October of 2007 my wife and I were married underneath Sipapu Bridge with two park rangers as our witnesses. For our honeymoon we then backpacked into Owl Canyon where Mother Nature had a surprise for us. Check back in next week, I should have this painting done and I can tell you the rest of our wedding adventure!
