Palo Duro Canyon Entrance

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel
This is a plein air painting from a visit to Palo Duro Canyon in September.  If you pull over about 1/4 mi from the entrance, follow the little trail to the ledge and you can see this amazing view.

"Galveston Getaway"

9x12" Acrylic on canvas panel
(Sold)
I revisited a plein air painting from the this summer now that I'm learning figures.  Adding people, seagulls, towels and the umbrella set-up really gave this painting the feel of a weekend at Galveston.

"Laniakea Views"

8x10 Acrylic on canvas panel
(SOLD)
10/16/12:  I finished this piece for an online workshop.  It was great to paint another beach scene.  The brilliant blues and greens of the water remind me of the Laguna Beach, California area.

Fresh Views

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel
(Bid now: DPW Auctions) or $60 before first bid
I had a fun time playing around with a picture from just west of Gunnison, CO.  The background view is the same, but I added some pines and brush to the foreground to help the composition. This is the third in the series of paintings from Dad's trip.  The West is truly amazing!

This is from memories of the red soils and pines of Bastrop, TX and my memories of the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC.  I hope a place like this exists!
