Sonoran Desert Painting



"Desert Companions"
Oil on Linen
12" X 9"
$325

This piece started as a study that I painted at the Lost Dog Wash in Scottsdale.  I finished the final painting as a Demo while I was at TheStore, the art gallery at Mesa Art Center.

I love the early morning light.  The day started out hot and by 9:00 am it was too hot to continue to paint outside.

"Dawn on the Polder"
Oil on Linen
9" X 12"

Painted from a plein air study in The Netherlands the summer of 2015.  The following photo was taken just after I finished the plein air study.  One of my favorite photos.  I call it, "....then the art critiques showed up."

"Windmill in Veere"
Oil On Linen, 16" X 12"


This past summer I was fortunate to be able to paint in The Netherlands for two weeks.  I stayed not to far from this windmill, which was built in the 1500's and used for grinding corm.  On two different days I stood in front of the windmill and did plein air studies.  This is a piece I completed in my studio
