Studio work

During the 100 degree days, I have been painting in my studio. I use studies from previous outings as inspiration for larger canvases. This is from an afternoon study at DeGrazia Gallery. Afternoon at Teds 28" x 22" oil on canvas Available

When It hits 100, I head to my air conditioned studio!!

On hot days I work in my studio. I use my Plein Air studies as inspiration to paint larger pieces. Hiking at Dawn- Honeybee Canyon 48" x 24" Available

Dawn at Pima Canyon

I'm really not an early riser, but during the hot summer months I meet my fellow painters at dawn. We still meet, wear masks and paint more than six feet apart. Pima Canyon at dawn is worth getting up early for !! Pima Canyon 7:30 AM Day 1 8" x 10" oil on linen panel Another view of Pima Canyon  6:45 Day 2 8" x 10" oil on linen panel

Yellow Season

There is a period of time in Tucson that it seems like the world turns yellow. The many varieties of  Palo Verde trees bloom at different times giving us a couple of weeks of beautiful shades of Yellow.

More from the mailbox

As I continue to paint from my mailbox in the early morning, I not only get the cool air but conversation at a distance with my neighbors on their morning walks. Happy to report everyone is doing well!!
