From Natural Bridges, Blanding is 34 miles away, and I stop into the library, thinking I’ll accomplish all I need to that day, and get to Hovenweep by dark; not even. I camp northwest of town for the next two nights and spend Thursday and Friday in the library. I am foiled on Friday, as their Wi-Fi is not working and so am unable to post to my blog, but I do get a couple posts prepared and all set to go at the next opportunity. I get away and head for Hovenweep, but with evening coming on I come across a good camp a couple hundred yards off the road on a clifftop overlooking the valley of Montezuma Creek, and with a great view of Sleeping Ute Mountain. I remain here touching up a couple of paintings, and varnishing seven others on the Saturday, and block in a new painting of Sleeping Ute Mountain, on Sunday, finishing it on the Monday. Sleeping Ute Mountain is seen from the west from my camp in Utah, while the mountain itself is in Colorado. Pigments used in the painting are … Imprimatura: Rublev Ercolano Red; Drawing: W&N Cobalt Blue; Pigments: W&N Cobalt, Cerulean and Ultramarine Deep Blues, Cadmiums Yellow Pale and Orange; Rublev: Ercolano Red, Purple Ochre, Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre, Ceruse, Lead White #2.
