Painted in Sedona Arizona. This is the Studio painting I did when I returned from the Jill Carver workshop.

One of the paintings from my recent trip up north. Spent a few days at Grand Canyon and then came back through Flagstaff and painted some of the golden aspens.

Hello out there,
     This is my first "BLOG" (I need to look that word up), so I will be able to communicate to you, my web site viewers in more detail.
     I just returned from my annual summer visit to Colorado. I used to leave Arizona in May and slowly meander up through Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and California camping, fishing, hiking, and of course painting. I would return to Arizona around October when it starts cooling off again. I would stay in the Sedona area all winter usually. I was a "full time RVer".
     A few years ago I bought an acre of land just north of Phoenix so I could have a studio (doing a 48x60in canvas in a 20 ft. trailer with a couple dogs is CROWDED). I have an old mobile home on the property I have made into my studio and a place to hold painting workshops, it also has a Tango floor.
     I expect to use this blog to share information about painting, plein air, my experiences as an artist and painter, etc.
     Right now I am experiamenting with some small still life paintings on Ebay. There is a "daily painting" group that have been doing this for awhile. I might try "weekly paintings", Ha! With the larger paintings I do and teaching, it makes it difficult to do little paintings like this often. I do think it is a great idea and practice for any painter. I am going to see where it goes and if I have any luck with it. The paintings are at a good price and without frames.

     The painting I have on Ebay right now are:
"That's a nice Tan" 6x8 in
"Cherries in a clear bowl" 6x8 in
