"Colors of Sedona" © Sedona, AZ


Taking a quick break from cooking for tomorrow I painted this little sketch, to practice the beautiful colors that cover the land before the sun sets on Sedona.  

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

"Canyon Lands" ©

Painting the red rocks of Canyon de Chelly, while on break from framing and packing paintings for delivery on the 18th, I was reminded how much I miss painting in the field. Time for a painting trip!

"Canyon Creek" ©



It's no wonder Sedona is known as home to stunning red rocks. Late in the day the stone reflects the sun and radiates the heat collected as the sun passed over head.

"Slide Rock Canyon" ©


Heading towards Flagstaff from Sedona the road follows a meandering canyon creek. I found this painting spot late in the afternoon, the red rock cliffs holding the warmth of the day as the temperature dropped quickly.

"Rocks of Papago" ©


In Scottsdale Arizona, Papago Park is the closest location I found to paint that was fairly safe and interesting. I painted this rock formation several times, exploring different ways to describe the stone in paint. Too early for snakes, other then one Jack Rabbit, all I had were birds for company.

"End Of The Day" ©


The end of the day cool of the red rock butte with the distant mountain range lit up in the last of the sunlight was what attracted me to this view, while painting in Arizona.
