This week’s auction painting is something from home. The area is just north of me in the Carefree/Cavecreek area outside of Phoenix. I actually painted this yesterday, Sunday at my weekly gig, painting at the Royal Palms Resort in Phoenix. The inspiration was an old photo from about 10 years ago. Who knows, there may […]
Another 8″x10″ oil painting on panel. Click HERE to bid on the auction painting I’m sorry I missed an auction last week. I didn’t schedule the post ahead before I came down with the flu. OMG, it was a wicked one, but back on track and back to work. Anyway, this was a painting that evolved […]
This week’s auction painting is a little different sunset painting. As a reference for painting this, I used a plein air painting that I painted in Venice. I changed the colors in the painting, but kept the relationship of the colors the same. The colors that were cool in the original, remained cool in this painting. […]
OK, another sunset, what do I name it?? Help! I’m running out of names. I decided to have a little contest on my Facebook Business Page this week. Help me name this sunset. Post on my business page a name suggestion. On Friday I will pick a winner. It’s my choice. After all, it’s my […]
8″x10″ oil on panel. This painting was created as a demo for my “Color & Light” workshop last week. There were just a few tweaks to be made and it was ready for the auction. I taught my students the concepts in painting a sunset. One of the things you may have noticed in my […]
8″ x 10″ oil on panel, unframed. Another auction and another sunset. I hope you aren’t tired of the sunset’s yet, because I’m not tired of painting them. I like working in series, it helps me to start thinking more and stretching my abilities. One thing about painting is that there is always something to […]
Hi there! Another auction this week. The auctions are going well and I will be continuing them with a new one every Monday at noon. So…..Here it is. “Sunlight Through the Oak Tree” 8″ x 10″ oil on panel. Last week I painted a 30″ x 40″ painting of an oak tree with a sunset. […]
I spent Sunday morning painting at the Royal Palms Resort here in Phoenix. They started a new program this year – I am the official Artist in Residence and will be painting at the Sunday Brunch every Sunday unless I’m out of town. It wasn’t very busy this weekend with people gearing up for the Superbowl. But, […]
I recently got on a kick painting some small mini’s (2 1/2″ x 3″ and 3″x3″) of sunsets and skies for Valentine’s Day. Each of the paintings are framed and ready to go. Included with the paintings are chocolate kisses. Now what could be better with your sweetie? Enjoy a sunset and kisses. They are reasonably […]
A different sunset this week. This would be looking away from the sun, the last light on the high monsoon clouds. The warm colors of the pinks and the oranges fade into the warm whites of the clouds. Most of the painting is in cool blues and cool grays, which both help to make the […]
North of Phoenix is the high desert, nicer weather during the summer, but some snow in the winter. Many people are surprised to learn that much of the Western United States is high desert. The afternoons will often see large billowing clouds in the high desert. The sunsets are often glorious. I composed the scrub […]
Continuing with the sunset painting for the auctions….. Click HERE for this weeks auction. “Late Afternoon Light” 8″x10″ oil on panel. I used to live next to the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale. My back door looked out on them at sunset. I would often walk down the street and into the desert to paint. I […]
