View from the Overflow Parking Lot at Sabino Canyon Recreation Area

  The first time I pulled into the Overflow Lot at Sabino Canyon I knew I had to come back and paint Thimble Peak towering over me.  This painting took two sessions to complete. Thimble Peak 16" x 20" oil on canvas panel Available

Hiking the Tanque Verde Wash

My painting friend and I walked down the Tanque Verde Wash to a spot she had scoped out the other day.  The wash is dry now as there has been little precipitation this past summer and fall. I was taken by how it almost looked like a snow scene with the bright sand and faded out leaves on the huge trees. Although it was sunny it was quite chilly in the shade where I was standing to paint,  so it trully felt like January.  Tanque Verde Wash in January 16" x 20" oil on canvas panel Available
