12x12 oil on canvas (final version on display at Susan Pitcairn Gallery, Sedona AZ) Warmer in tone than most of my work, but I think it feels more expansive.
I have done a couple paintings at this spot in the past. A recent trip to the Grand Canyon shortly after the snow led to this drawing. Maybe another painting to come. I like the square format on this. When working on paper I allow the composition to grow or shrink as needed. This strange formation actually exists pretty much as portrayed though a layer of snow is making the path out to this promontory seem more walkable than it really would be.

Welcome to my blog, I will be exploring themes of landscapes, travels, figurative work and still life, updating as the work develops. Paintings are priced as marked. Email me to purchase a painting at italianwine@email.com
Please put "Painting" in the subject line.
"PAINTING WITHOUT FEAR" April 26 -30 2010 Sedona Arts Center (5 days 9am-4pm) TUITION: $ 600 (all materials included)
This beginning or refresher painting course will give you a ‘virtual toolbox’ of basic techniques and familiarity with the materials for painting with oils and acrylics. We will explore still-life and landscape (also using photography as a tool). A mid-week venture will have students taking photos and creating sketches on-site in the beautiful Sedona environment for later use in our studio. Each student will work with their own personal studio space within the larger classroom. Step-by-step projects will lead to surprising results in an atmosphere of fun and discovery. Lots of individual attention provided. All materials are included for student use during the workshop. Call the Sedona Arts Center to sign-up at 888.954.4442 or 928.282.3809
This workshop will be offered again Dec 13 - 17 2010
