Gnarled Junipers, Sedona. Watercolor 8 1/2 x 13 inches. When visiting Sedona, Arizona, I discovered not only that (according to a trail sign) "Sedona has long been known as a spiritual power center...." but also "Juniper trees respond to the vortex energy in a physical way that reveals where this energy is strongest." I am inspired by twisted, weathered trees, and in this "Red Rock Country" they could be frequently found in the most surprising places!
