Lemon Water

We are having unusually warm weather here and warm weather calls for a cooling refreshing drink. Lemon water also reminds me of a good spring cleanse. But, who am I kidding, I know winter or spring storms are somewhere over the horizon. But…

Winter Plains

Another view of the Bill Williams Mountain, with the blue distant mountain standing out against the golden grasses of winter. I actually stood by the side of a 50 mph road where cars zoomed by me every minute or so sending a rumble and almost…

Farm Fresh

These eggs are from our chickens. Lovely, vibrant red and blues and white shell colors and bright orange yolks. I guess it took a lot to get to this painting including raising the little baby chicks to watching them grow. Providing them with…

Heading North

Here is my painting for the Day 21 of the 30 in 30 challenge. Another one that I actually painted over an old painting. I feels like I am just starting to understand the power of oil paints. I come from a  watercolor background so I am always…

Natalie (part 2), Day 20, 30 in 30

Monday morning figure painting today again! Too much fun to describe in words, but let me tell you, it is way too much "fun"! :D Anyway, started working on the fun part, the lights, today. See the color difference and paint them as such. "If…

Blue Hills and San Francisco Peaks

Blue Hills 8"x 10" oil on panel I did two paintings yesterday, back-to-back, literally.  Painted one, turned around and painted the second one facing the other way. I actually reused some of my pre-used panels that I didn't very…

Looking towards Granite Dells

This painting I did yesterday, from up the hill behind my house again. It has been a long time I used a palette knife, it was interesting, though I think I have been enjoying using a brush better. Now only if I can figure out how to use one!…

Looking East-Winter-5pm

Another one from the gorgeous view that you get when you climb up the hill behind our house. It just about a 360 degree panoramic view. From Bill Williams mountain in the north to the San Francisco peaks at the base of which Flagstaff is situated.…

Orchids

I always tend to kill orchids. It's sad because I love them and I have looked up on how to take care of them, but they just don't survive. But I will keep trying. These ones some friends brought over for me a couple of months ago and they are…

Granite Mountain Again

Another view of the mountain. I picked a spot where these really soft and fluffy looking plants were growing right in front of it. The interesting thing about them was how they glowed against the drab winter landscape. 10" x 8" oil on gessoed…
