Every year, at about this time of the month, the aspen trees change to golden yellow. I thought this year would be unique after the San Francisco Peaks received a few inches of snow paired up with the golden aspen leaves. However, most of the apsen trees were still green or changing to a brown yellow. It was still a …
A couple more mini’s
Here are two more 5×7 oil paintings to be exhibited at the Frame & I Art Gallery for a miniature show during the months of November and December. These were both done with a palette knife. This will be a great show!!
Recent oil, “Breath of Summer”
This 12×16 inch oil painting, is of a scene engraved in my mind of the lush forests at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This was seen/experienced along the Transcept Trail and I love the play of light on the aspen trees and pine branches.
New oil painting!
This oil painting was completed during the Best Fest, September 17th. I set up my easel to demonstrate oil painting on the sidewalk in front of the Frame & I and assembled a table of my paintings to show off. I hoped to catch the attention of the many thousands of people walking downtown for AZ’s centenniel celebration. I was …
More Autumn Colors, South of Prescott
I couldn’t get enough of the Fall colors I saw on Sunday south of Prescott. So, today, I drove to the same spot for afternoon lighting and a closer look at the scenery. It was overcast but the colors still appeared vibrant. It is worth the 15 minute drive south of Prescott to enjoy the colors of the season.
Fall Colors Near Prescott
Sunday afternoon looked like scattered rain showers and otherwise warm. We drove south of Prescott on Senator Highway and spent some time in the cooler high elevations near Mt. Union. The drive there exhibited these wonderful fall colors. The lighting was soft and serene.
A day with kids!
We borrowed a few (actually four) kids for a couple days to allow Dean & Keilah to relax with their new baby, Elaina. To entertain the kids, we started the morning with a outdoor painting session, then to Granite Basin Lake for a hike and picnic, played at a park, stopped at a couple artists studios who are part of …
Art Show!
I am part of the annual employee art show coming up at the Frame & I Art Gallery, downtown Prescott. The show actually starts on Monday, October 3rd. See ya there!!
“Castle in the Clouds”
I posted this painting a few weeks ago right when I completed it, however, the photo I took was inadequate to convey how the painting actually looks. I asked Rich Charpentier to color match for me and came up with this awesome representation of my painting, which is a perfect match. Thanks Rich! See Rich’s website to learn more about what …
Small Scale oil paintings
Here are a couple mini paintings I did last week in preparation for a miniature show at the Frame & I Art Gallery starting mid November. These two paintings are both done in oil with a palette knife, they measure 5×7 inches. It isn’t necessarily easier to paint small, the same elements that make a good painting still apply. I have a few …
