"The Desert Sentinel" Original Southwest Quail watercolor by Janice Trane Jones

This is an original watercolor on 300 lb cold pressed paper. "The Desert Sentinel" depicts a male Quail looking over the desert scenery to make sure the coast is clear for the other quail including the babies to make their way to food. Quail are such a beautiful bird with their multiple colors and little plume atop their head. This painting is 9 x 12 unframed. You can contact me via janicetranejones.com to purchase. Commissions are welcome.

Desert in Bloom, Contemporary Landscape Paintings by Amy Whitehouse


12" x 16" Oil, $185

Roses are blooming in my backyard, and before we know it,
the whole desert will be in bloom.
I have loved the Arizona desert since arriving here 23 years ago.
And nothing beats the Spring blooms. These barrel cacti are just about to bud.

Bloomin Cactus, Contemporary Southwest Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse


16" x 20" Acrylic, $600

These last two weeks I have worked on five
saguaro cactus paintings,
exploring different compositions,
color combinations,
textures,
and different mediums
such as pastes, gels, glazes.

Now I'm kind of obsessed with how many
different concoctions I can come up with.

Cactus Flower, Abstract Contemporary Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse


11" x 14" Acrylic, $125

I am posting another new painting today because
within minutes of posting
Mother's Day Bouquet 5 on facebook,
it sold!  WOO HOO!

This one is technically mixed media, as it has
hand-made artists papers, acrylic paints,
clear tar gel, coarse pumice gel, and
fabric paste on it.

Baby Cactus, Contemporary Southwest Landscape Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse



8" x 8" x 1.5", Oil, $175

The intense Arizona sun obliterates the lit part of this little
barrel cactus.
The mean spikes were painted with the edge of a palette knife,
and the soft petals with a bristle brush.
I was going for the contrast of the papery, lovely flower
surrounded by the brutal thorns,
and the bright, bright sun
that makes it all such a scintillating scene.

Because I seem to be having trouble with the
Pay Now button,
please e-mail me if you are interested

"It's A Small World" by Li Mahalik

Oil on Gessoed Masonite Panel, 6" x 6"

I'm putting this painting I did a few weeks ago up just for fun because it does not exist any more. It had been transformed into "A Promise" (see it in my blog). I miss it, but I have it in my file.

A lady who came to buy our furniture advertised on Craiglist ended up commissioned me to do a 4'x4' abstract painting. I'm excited. I hope it'll turn out well....

Please contact me if you have any comments, questions or have something in mind for a painting. Or visit my website, and my blog.

Thank you so much for looking!
