| The Smoki Museum in Prescott, AZ |
On Monday we decided to take a short driving
trip to the south. We visited
Tuzigoot National Monument, and the cities of Jerome and Prescott, AZ. I had been to them all
before, years ago, but was eager to see the changing landscape. Although I had
every intention of painting that day, the heat and a touchy stomach made the idea
of sitting in the shade and sketching much more appealing.

| Tuzigoot National Monument |
Tuzigoot is a 2- to 3-story pueblo ruin on the summit of a
limestone and sandstone ridge above the Verde River floodplain. The
natural stone of the walls is a fascinating subject for pen & ink and I
enjoyed the challenge of capturing it.

After this it was on to Jerome and Prescott. In Prescott
we visited the
Smoki Museum of American Indian art and culture. What a great
museum! The collection was stellar and the staff, knowledgeable. My favorite
part was the Kachina collection. I have missed seeing Katchinas since moving to
the Northwest.

The museum's collection of Kachinas
was a highlight for me. |
