Sometimes landscapes are so big that they don't seem to fit on a sheet of paper. This is a painting of a view of Escalante National Monument. Some of the views of this area are so vast that they leave you breathless. Apparently some of the first non-Indian people that stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon, fainted when they saw the sight of the large landscape. I can imagine that could happen looking at the grandeur of Escalante.

About Me
- Joan Wolbier
- Boulder, Colorado
- Creating art has always been a spiritual experience for me. I create to satisfy my own curiosity about the magic in our lives. That magic appears on a sheet of paper when I draw a face, a moose, a flower. Visions of mountains, trees, and oceans appear when I paint shapes and colors. My work is representational and explores exterior and interior landscapes and the natural world. To see more of my artwork go to my website: www.joanwolbier.com
