Just finished up a couple of little 6×8 oil paintings from the Long Ride North this summer. The two latest additions to the collection are one of the Matanuska Glacier, Alaska and the other is from Haines Junction, Yukon. The Matanuska Glacier is in Alaska on the Glenn Highway about 60 miles or so Northeast of Palmer, Alaska which is …
This little 6×8 oil painting represents the first of many I hope to do as little studies for larger studio paintings from the Long Ride North. This is the view of the North Saskatchewan River Valley from a picnic area at the Sakatchewan River Crossing in Brithish Columbia between Banff and Jasper. What impressed me with this scene, as did …
You know, one of the greatest natural wonders of this earth sits right here in my own backyard. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The Black Canyon, as it is affectionately known locally, is really an amazing place. Some years ago I was asked to come up to the park and do some paintings for the park service. They …
I’ve been working feverishly on these “little gem oil paintings”. Scenics, for the most part, of the southwest and local area. They are fun to do and a tourist favorite. Easily packed into a suitcase and can be displayed on a table easel or framed. We are having a showing of the latest offering tonight at Simpson Gallery. Stop by if …
These are some new paintings I recently completed as part of my Black Canyon National Park series. I’ve been painting for the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park for several years now. They sell my prints and note cards at the visitors center located in the park. Four of the paintings are watercolors and four of them are …
Spent a great weekend in Arches National Park in Uah. The weather was beautiful with highs around 70 degrees and lows in the low 40’s. Skies were a cobalt blue above and Edward Abbey red rock country below. Fantastic. It has become an annual tradition to go to Arches the last weekend of October. So far we haven’t been let …
Had the day off and thought we should go for a drive and find a painting to do. Turns out I had one to do right off of our front deck. These bird feeders have been begging to be painted for some time and to day was the day. I used a beautiful walnut painting box from Open Box M …
If you look back a couple of posts you’ll find where I went with my wife and another couple on an absolutely wonderful motorcycle ride up into the Sawtooth Recreational Area in Idaho this summer. As is always the case I’m on the lookout for material that will make a nice painting. Such was the case when we ventured down …
This is a plein air watercolor I painted at the campground in Arches National Park in Utah last fall. I just love the red rock features and the complimentary green. This old snag was casting it’s shadow loosely on the red rock behind it one morning and I couldn’t resist the painting. After a round of dutch oven cinammon rolls …
It’s approaching that time of month again. Each first Friday of the month we have an art stroll here in Montrose. It’s a great opportunity for folks to get out and about and see what the local artists and artisens have been up to. This Friday, from 6 to 8 I will be offerring this fullsheet framed watercolor and ALL …
