While participating in the Escalante Arts Festival in September, 2016. Escalante I took a drive down the Smokey Mnt. dirt road and saw this rock feature on the way back. Any of the country in that part of Utah is special. Better know as the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument is fairly remote and really wild. Beautiful desert rock formations …

Painted near the Catalina Mts. Tucson, AZ during the 2016 Plein Air Convention. This was a wonderful gathering of plein air arts from all over the country. The convention featured some great artist and vendors. I’ve always found the desert southwest a challenge to paint but this stately sauguaro begged to be painted. I used the wash it was in …

Crested Butte is a really neat little Victorian mining town turned ski resort and summer tourist hot spot. The alleys in these old mining towns make for some great subject matter. I’ve painted them here in Crested Butte, Colorado, Silverton, Colorado and Telluride, Colorado. Fun stuff. This watercolor was painted on location during the Crested Butte Plein Air Invitational I …
I painted this 9×12 watercolor from the back patio of the Human History Museum during the quick painting event of the Zion Plein Air Invitational event that I was so proud to be a part of.

This 10×14 watercolor is the second and last painting I did on the Eastside of Zion National Park during the Zion Plein Air Invitational. I liked the distant white monument with the warm and cool colors which provided a nice backdrop for the red rock features in the mid and fore ground. I had hoped to and planned to come back …
This 14 x10 watercolor is the first painting I did from the recent Zion Plein Air Invitational of which I was proud to be one of 24 artists selected nationwide to paint in the park as part of the 100 year national park celebration.
