Field Sketch, Red Rocks Of Sedona, oil, 8 x 6 in., NFS

Painted on location, en plein air, the view was breathtaking. I painted this sketch, like so many others, standing on the side of the road, which is a major artery between Sedona and Phoenix. After a short time, snow flurries began and ultimately dictated when the painting was finished.

Original field sketch painted in Wyoming, during an early May snowstorm.

Stiletto: Sunny Day Before the Storm

I am currently in Baltimore MD., taking care of my dad. It snowed two days ago, with a fine dusting still visible. More snow is predicted in a few days. For a transplanted Southerner, a few inches might as well be a few feet. This painting, of one of my favorite sailboats, was painted on location, a plein air, on a sunny afternoon several years before Katrina.

"Homer's Bermuda & Cherries #1", oil, Sold
