Cathedral Rock - Sedona



11 x 14 inches Oil on 1 inch wrapped canvas






$375. + S/H



This week I made my last trek
in Sedona for the classic plein air outing.
Here's one of those vortex spots in Sedona
you here them talk about so excitedly.
It really is pretty fantastic from any of
the views along the river.

24 x 48 inches Oil on wrapped canvas

Grand Canyon Dusk - completed SOLD


Detail
Detail ~ This painting was put on hold until I returned to Arizona, only to be completed this week.

Painting the canyon is so enthralling...I forget how wonderful it was to get absorbed in the
cracks and fissures of the rocks. (see how helpful it is to have studied human anatomy?)

Sage Brush at Pebble Beach



16 x 20 inches Oil on canvas

This is at Tonto State Park, along the Salt River
Beautiful back lit sage brush against the
Goldfield Mountain Range.
Pebble beach parking area is one
before Bulldog Canyon pullover.

Morning light changing quickly

I'd like to work more into the mountains and perhaps get
some more definition loosely with background around
river in general. Pretty spot listening to the rushing river.
Bottlebrush in bloom and birds all over singing
