DEATH VALLEY 2006 Artwork by Janet Morgan Janet Morgan and Gregory Frux  were Artist's-In-Residence in  Death Valley National Park in 2005, 2006 and 2008..

Artist's Drive Slide watercolor 12 x 20"  These hills are smooth like velvet with volcanic rubble flowing down their sides.  In geology, as in all things -  "everything is in motion,  some things just move faster than others".       On Artist's Drive watercolor 12 x 20"

The Artist's Palette watercolor 12 x 20"     Last year we couldn't get to the Artist's Palette because the road was washed out. It is a crazy  jumble of colors, really it is peppermint pink and  mint green, golds and browns and greys, all in a chaotic mess.

One afternoon after a heavy rain (sometimes the rain actually makes it to the valley floor) I looked up and saw these wonderful waterlogged dark hills far off, under a grey cloud filled sky.                  From Furnace Creek watercolor 9 x 12"

Desolation Canyon watercolor 12 x 9" Scenes from Star Wars were filmed in this canyon. The green is disintegrating mica, the reds are irons.

Twenty Mule Team Canyon watercolor 9 x 12" where those stubborn slanted rocks just keep pointing to the sky

Bridge Canyon Temple II watercolor 20 x 12" Painted from deep inside of a dry fall (occasional waterfall) looking toward the snow of Telescope Peak.

The Panamint Valley, just over Emigrant pass from Death Valley proper, is surrounded by the snow topped Panamint Mountains, the colorful Darwin Plateau, the Panamint Sand Dunes, salt flats, and it
is filled with miles of green creosote bushes. And in the middle the wonderful Panamint Springs Resort, where you can sit on the porch and drink a beer and watch the whole thing!

Panamint Sand Dunes watercolor 9 x 12" The only way to get to the dunes is to walk five miles in the hot sun, when you get there the dunes are even hotter.
