Here are a couple more paintings I never posted from earlier this summer.

Another new painting to share!

New oil Painting: “Monsoon from Point Imperial”
18×24″ palette knife oil painting, “Monsoon from Point Imperial.” I completed this a couple weeks ago. I was craving rain on the day I painted it and decided to paint a rainy, moody painting since the monsoon rains had pittered out. Enjoy!

Two New Paintings!
Here are two new palette knife oil paintings, both 8×10 inches. “Eve at Lynx Lake” and “At Maroon Bells National Park.”

I wondered if the sun would peek through the clouds behind us for a magical light show. It sure did and a rainbow appeared, creating a dazzling display of color.
