Teton Afernoon, 6x6 oil painting by Stevie Denny

Teton Afternoon
6x6 oil on Raymar cotton panel

I painted this from a photo I took a few years ago, while on a trip to Idaho and Wyoming.  The Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks should be seen by everyone.  They are truly treasures.

Purchase this painting through an online auction at Daily Paintworks.

Carmel Mission Wall, 8x6 oil painting by Stevie Denny

Last Spring I visited the Monterey area, and since I'm visiting all of the California missions I went to two missions that were close by:  Mission San Juan Bautista and Mission Carmel.  When I visited Carmel to do some plein air painting, I found that the mission was being renovated, so there were huge scaffolds on one of the basilica's domes.  Another complication was that some signature members of the California Art Club were there that day to paint as well.  I thought it might be pretty difficult to paint the scaffolding, and I sure didn't want to embarrass myself among this illustrious group of painters, so I settled on painting the exterior wall that had some nice foliage and shadows.  It was a wonderful day, and so nice to meet so many very accomplished painters.

Red Rock Sunset, 6x8 oil painting by Stevie Denny

During the past year I've taken a few classes from Dick Heichberger, a master landscape painter.  He really focuses on the use of transparent color, and that "less is more".  I painted this in one of his classes from a photo I had taken in Sedona.
