Canyon Lands

Canyon Lands
30" x 40" Oil

Plein Air Moab

The first painting me and Karen did along the Colorado River.

Below is a shot of the painting in the show (18" x 24"):





Painted the above arch last year and wanted to do a larger painting at this spot (16 x 20)
(I apologize for the blurry photos. I didn't have a tripod handy when I took them)


Karen took a photo of me painting at Canyonlands Park. This place was like being at the Grand Canyon.


The above is the painting I did for the first Quick Paint. This painting sold that night. Painted it in less than 2 hours. "Last Light on the Colorado" Oil 18" x 24"



Painted on the river again before we had to turn in our paintings. The river canyon was one of my favorite things to paint there. This piece sold in the show!


My sunset painting I had in the show. Tackled painting the fleeting light on the red rocks on an 18 x 24 canvas in about a half hour. The light was completely gone when I was finishing it. I really had a blast painting this! This one also sold.




On our last day me and Karen went on a hike up to Double O arch. We really enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to next year!

Plein Air Moab!

Last week I participated in the Plein Air Moab Utah show. It was a lot of fun! Met up with some friends and painted with my friend Josh Been a lot. The show was great! It had a lot of great paintings. I had two in the show, One for the Oil category and the other in the Quick Draw category. Both pieces sold! The painting in the Oil category had the most bids out of any painting in the show! (they ran out of room on the silent auction sheet)


Below are the paintings I brought back with me:


Canyon Reflections
Oil 8" x 10"




Canyon Light
Oil 11" x 14"




Desert Tower
Oil 12" x 12"



Arch Window
Oil 10" x 12"

I decided to put these paintings up for sale at a discounted price on my etsy store. These have some really great prices for original art. Follow the link on the side banner -->
