The winter blues are over…I feel like painting again. Soon I’ll be painting outside again.

I’ve been asked to offer a painting workshop, which I am thinking about. If you are are interested in learning to paint in oil on claybord, use my contact form to let me know.

Is it snowing yet?

In anticipation of the coming winter, I’ve painted three stormy images.
My many drives up and down Hwy 99W are always inspiring no matter what the weather.

I used a gray underpainting instead of alizarin crimson this time. I miss the red.

Canyon Dreams, a new series?

I enjoy the essence of watercolor paintings…the transparency creates such a etherial mood. I’ve achieved the same essence with this oil painting on a clay panel. I painted this canyon from memories of driving through Eastern Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

I was inclined to make several of these this morning, but refrained so I could get other work done. Let me know if you like this style and if I should paint more like it.
