"Eileen"

Some of the weathered trees that stand along
the edge of the Grand Canyon have some of the most
twisted bodies. You wonder if it's the wind or lack of
water that makes them stretch and lean in the directions
that they do. This piece was painted in my studio from
shots I took at the Grand Canyon last week.

"Grand Canyon Staircase"
16" x 20" original oil on canvas
16" x 20" original oil on canvas
I have painted this scene before from the
Grand Canyon. It's what artists call the "Golden
Hour" when the sun is fleeting and you have to
get in as many shots as you can because in an hour
it will be all gone.

"Monument Skyscrapers"

This is a scene from Monument Valley that is one
of my favorite places to visit and paint images from.
The formations here look like they are from another
planet.
"Midnight in Moab"

This is a scene of a Moab formation that I
changed to a nocturne. I shot this reference a
few years ago during the day but for this piece
I thought it would make a great night scene.
