Sedona and More Art

Well this is shaping up to be an expensive trip. After buying two original oils on Day One we invested in a copper sculpture for one of our background gardens. This is a wind sculpture and the movement is calming. Coming in at 6'7 it will be a wonderful outdoor piece.

Sedona is wonderful. Graham & I have decided it is a place to visit but not live. But we will return to hike all the mountain trails we saw while on our Hummer jeep tour. Great stuff.
