Original Paintings ~ Taking Flight
Just as the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis, Jan Wright's colorful watercolor paintings spread their wings and take flight and find their way to new homes, bringing color, light, and inspiration to all who see them.
Jan is currently exhibiting at Mesa Verde National Park.
Jan captures the essence and spirit of Mesa Verde cliff dwellings, on display at the Mano Lounge above the five star restaurant in Far View Lodge. The Lodge is near the Visitors Center at Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado.
Enjoy some of the images below.
