Thousand Springs

A waterfall that is part of Thousand Springs on the Snake River in Idaho. It falls into a beautiful pristine creek that flows into the Snake River. It is located in the Nature Conservancy. With special permission John Killmaster and I spent a day painting this beautiful area. This is an oil painting taken from an original watercolor. Prints and cards have been taken from this image. I could return to this location and spend a summer painting. This is one of Idaho's most beautiful areas.

This Is Tuscany

This is Tuscany. Although this is a composite of several images belonging to the artist, they are near Assisi and Chianti hills It's a reminder of the evening light, vinyards and farmhouses.

The gallery wrap is 24 x 30. Its companion, a painting in progress will measure 30 x 40. Both are unframed and ready to hang. This is a series of "Tuscany" paintings and other landscapes of Italy.
Since putting the Tuscany paintings on the blog they have been taken by a collector in California.  With memories so fresh, they will be painted again, redesigned in another format which will improve the composition.  Designing paintings and their composition becomes an exciting and creative process.

Celebration

This is an oil painting of a composite of the desert near the White Tank Mountains. This image shows up in other paintings of the nearby "White Tanks."  One of the first desert scenes sold in a one person show in Sun City West.

Here Comes The Sun

Oil painting - another desert image.

Having painted the "White Tanks", an area near Surprise, Arizona several times, this image continued to stay in my mind. The first painting was an evening scene, then two more developed suggesting early morning. It's an artist's gift to have mental images still available to do a variation on the theme.

Japanese Shrine

A week in Kyoto provided the artist with many interesting subjects. This shrine was the best.

Painting has been sold to a collector in Wisconsin.

Pacific Coast Walkway -- Watercolor

Near Cambria, California. It looks blustery, but in the summer can be beautiful.

This large Watercolor recently sold. So, it's back to Cambria and Moon Beach to paint. This theme has been used for several Oil paintings.

Evening Desert -- Oil

In the spring, the White Tank Mountains are a wonderful place to hike and take photographs. Located west of Surprise, Arizona, it offers a wealth of information
for artists of the Southwest.

Coral Fantasy

The painting shown was exhibited at West Valley Art Museum in Surprise, Arizona.

The  "painting"  is acrylic ink pour.  I was pleased with the image and luckily it worked.  Often the first ten are throwaways, then one turns out so delicious, you know to keep it.

Color Of Music

This acrylic painting was inspired by "Monet's Garden." The painting was sold to a New York collector.
