Phippen Western Art Show 2019

I was thrilled to be juried in to the prestigious Phippen Museum Art Show this year and spent last five months painting away mostly Prescott area landscapes. The show was on the Memorial Day weekend, in my hometown of Prescott, AZ. It was a…

Awaiting the Storm

I stood at the cross-roads today watching the oncoming storm... Painted two panel side by side to capture this beautiful panorama that I get to see driving out to town everyday. What a lovely stormy weather. I love Monsoons!

Latest Plein Air Painitngs

Some new Plein Air paintings from last couple of weeks. I have started going out again once or twice a week. Prescott is so green right now, I am afraid I am going to run out of green paint!!!         &nb…

2014-3-19 at Granite Mountain

Yet another attempt at this beautiful mountain in my backyard. This is the first painting after I came back from Eric Merrell's workshop in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park, CA. What a beautiful place, so inspiring! I will be posting the paintings…

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!…

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…

Moonrise

A very quick, perhaps a 15-20 minute painting, en plein air, trying to catch the colors of dusk with a full moon rising. It was an amazing evening. You could see the bands of colors in the sky rising out of the earth. 8"x10" oil on panel
