Foothills of the Rockies

Foothills of the Rockies
Oil on Linen Panel
12" X 24"
$950

The mix of shadow and sunlight are intriguing.  It is always surprising where the light and shadow appear. We have all looked at a hillside and wondered where does this go?  We have stood at the base of hills and wondered what would the journey be like to the top.  In life we start at the base and journey upwards.

I first painted this scene as a small 8" X 10" plein air piece.  It is a favorite of mine.  One day while examining the plein air piece I realized that in a tall narrow format this piece would have depth and drama.

Cactus Dry Wash

"Cactus Dry Wash"
Oil on Canvas, 8" X 10"
$275 (credit cards accepted)

Out in the Superstition Mountains are many "Washes" usually dry, filled with rocks, plants, sand, and filled with light. Here an ancient Saguaro presides over the now dry wash. Can you imagine what this might look like during a thunderstorm? Now, however it is peace in the desert.

Happy Holidays to all.

Autumn's POnd

"Autumn's Pond"
Oil on Canvas 12"X16"
$650

As I travel the southwest every once in a while one gets surprised! I happened upon this pond, part of the Virgin River in Long Valley, Utah. Everything is here, water, the Fall trees and the red rocks. Who could resist. This painting framed in a dark wood color will enliven any decor. There is much to be discovered in this painting.

Canyon Dreams

"Canyon River"
Oil on Canvas, 12"X16"
$650

The majesty of Zion National Park has been painted for well over a hundred years. The sandstone formations are inspiring. Seeing sights like this inspire me to paint. The sky, the water, the reflections, the textures are intriguing.

My art is also at the Sun Dust Gallery in Mesa, AZ, and The Gallery at Clarke's in Southern Utah.

This week I will be traveling in southern Utah. I have collectors who are intrigued as I am by the southwest and I will be painting several pieces for a few people who collect my art.
