Hi everyone,
I finally finished this painting, a 36"x32" oil. I started it about 6 months ago, lost interest or momentum on it. Set it aside. And got it back out yesterday. I worked on it yesterday, thought I was finished, but no. I went to photograph it today and realized I still needed a lot of work on it. I put it back up on the easel and thought I finished about 5 more times, each time photographing it, seeing something that needed to be done and working on it more. I THINK I'm done now. I hope so. I feel like I'm done with it.
Last night I went to the Putney Painters opening at Legacy Gallery. Of course, it was wonderful. After visiting some of the other galleries, I even had to go back and look at them again. I saw a few friends at the show and on the street (going to the galleries). Qiang Huang was there with his two magnificent paintings. For someone from Austin, I sure run into him I think every time he has come to Phoenix, 3 maybe 4 times now. Daniel Keys paintings were some of my favorites and of course, Richard Schmidt's. There's always so much to take in at these shows. Love it.

Arizona Artist oil landscape painting autumn aspen trees
I paint. Using oils and recently rediscovering pastels I paint primarily landscapes in plein air and the studio. I'm known for my sunsets and skies. I'm passionate about passing on what I have learned from nationally known artists in workshops that I teach.
