Early Morning Saguaros #22413

12 x 12 inches Oil on canvas

Looking across a deep gorge in the early morning light with the saguaros backlit was so dramatic...

The hillside in shadow didn't last long, and this is all I could get on location.

Happy New Year

Back painting in Arizona for the winter.

Due to computer difficulties with storing photos, it's been over a year of getting it straightened out, so I can post paintings again.  The short version is size matters...and I don't mean my brain.
 Seems like having all my photos on external HD was the way to go, with a new computer....and I must say, I still have the consolidation of folders, albums and what not to organize.

So accessing my past is still rather convoluted.
Let's see if I can at least post new work with regularity,
and thanks for those of you returning, or to new viewers!

Surrey Hill North View

12 x 12 inches Oil on canvas


This was taken much later in morning after the sun was higher.

Bulldog Canyon

6" x 6" Oil on masoniteWorking plein air today at Bulldog Canyon
was magical. The California Poppies popped open
as the sun warmed them up around 9 am, making
the fields glow. The mountain ridge is called Goldfield Mts
for reasons other than gold perhaps??

Surrey Hills

11" x 14" Oil on canvas on wood board
This has a ways to go, it's easy to see reviewing the photo.
That's why I take photos while I'm painting. You never know
if it will be complete on site or not. Turns out I rarely go back
into mine, but it would help in many cases!

We had a nice turnout on Wednesday with
Toni Perrin, Phil Koerper, Rodney Cobb,
Diane Scholar, Rita Goldner, Kitty Shannon,
Bud Olson, Bil Canfield and Nancy Taylor.
