Arizona Sky

The skies are absolutely breathtaking here in Arizona. Naturally, I just had to paint my very first one just as the sun was setting behind the Catalina Hills. Can you feel the wind pushing the clouds around and can you almost feel the light spray of rain hitting the desert floor? It has been a real challenge to keep painting during this move to a new state.

This is an original 11" x 14" oil painting on quality archival canvas panel. It is signed. Enjoy!

CACTUS FOUND!

Well, well, well, I found a cactus here in Arizona and decided to paint it. My very first one! Seriously, though, everywhere I turn there are mucho species of cacti surrounding my existance here.....I must say, I really enjoyed focusing on the warm and cool color changes in this piece. This is an 11" x 14" original oil on quality canvas board. Enjoy!

I will be very busy painting with fellow Arizona artists in PineTop the first of October, followed by a painting excursion to Jerome. Stay toned for the plein-air pieces from those outings.
