Milky Way Goblin Valley
Goblin Valley State Park is in the beautiful State of Utah, along the San Reef, south of Interstate 70. It is such a unique place, you will feel like you're on a different planet altogether! To me, it looked like a Mars landscape. We've visited this place three times to photograph the landscape and also the night skies, which are some of the darkest you will ever see. The landscape is magical, with sandstone 'goblins', formations that can be seen in many different shapes and sizes. In this painting my goal was to emphasize the Milky Way as it hangs above the red rocks that are the main features of this beautiful place. If you visit, you might want to call ahead to secure a camping space. Perhaps you'll be lucky to be able to go on a night when local astronomers are there with their telescopes so you can see more beautiful sights in the night sky.
This piece features rich reds, and deep browns along with the blues and violets of the sky. This image is particularly beautiful when printed on metal or acrylic in a large format.
