America is SO beautiful!

We're home at last!  Over two weeks of plein air painting in Arizona and Utah have me feeling so blessed to be an American, living in this incredibly beautiful country. I wish everyone could experience the grandeur of this amazing landscape. I painted several oils in Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park, both in Utah.  Here I am painting Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona, on the morning of our last day. Sedona is an artist's paradise: galleries, art, and artists abound. And no wonder. The red rocks are like nothing we have in New England.   

 (You'll notice that I don't paint in my new blue hat. 

This one is my favorite for painting in bright sunshine.)

Great News!

Don't you just love my new hat?!

I am so excited to announce that four of my oil paintings will soon be hanging in The Gallery at Clarke's in Tropic, Utah:  "The Dock in Winter," "Red Barns in Winter," "Waiting for Spring," and "Birdbath in Snow."   This lovely lady is Irene Schack von Brockdorff,  gallery director.  Formerly an art teacher in Tropic, Irene is an artist in her own right.  Here's a link to The Gallery at Clarke's  where you can see examples of works by other artists represented.
