Dust and Rain
Oil on canvas 18x24 (on display at Susan Pitcairn Gallery, Sedona AZ)
This is from a spot on the South Rim where I found myself in the rain after a day of painting waiting and waiting to see if the sun was going to make that one last appearance where it shoots a beam of light up the canyon from under the clouds.

Tower IV
"Tower" 24x30 oil on canvas (Final version on display at Susan Pitcairn Gallery, Sedona AZ)
Stage 4 is now an oil painting but the mood and palette has changed from where I started. I will have to revisit this when I have spent some time at this spot in the spring weather.

Quick Demo - Underpainting
"Tower" 24x30 acrylic on canvas NFS
This was a demonstration done in the gallery space at the Sedona Arts Center. Starting with a white canvas I did a few charcoal marks to start the drawing then jumped into a loose acrylic underpainting to start the painting process. I got as far as placing some palette knife work (still in acrylic) on the 'Tower' formation's right hand side. I anticipate finishing with oils after more development in acrylic. More later...

Sunset Ceremony (Stage 1)
"Sunset Ceremony" 24x36 oil on canvas (final version on display at Susan Pitcairn Gallery, Sedona AZ)
This represents a "first stopping point" for this painting. Next week I will publish the next stage. There is no telling what goes on between a beginning and an end. Usually though it is something difficult. The difficult middle. Though at this stage it is the intent to "keep it all fresh", to not make it difficult. To not make the 'will to finish' something that goes too far. Bonnard said a painting is best when it is two-thirds done. What is your opinion?

Toward the Sky
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.

Tower
16.5 x 16.5 graphite on paper $150
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.
Please Email me for purchase information.

At the Edge
24x30 oil on canvas SOLD
This work is on display at the "Sons of Sedona" exhibition at the Sedona Arts Center. I worked on this in the studio, enjoying, as a painter, the architectonic treatment of space that the Grand Canyon can inspire.

Summer Haze, Moran Point
24" x 30" oil on canvas (on display at Susan Pitcairn Gallery, Sedona AZ)
Please Email me for purchase information.
This is a studio work based on some studies done over the summer, I enjoy the intense shifts in palette and tone created by the dramatic atmospheric perspective at the Grand Canyon.
