Arizona Field Studies!

Here they are, the paintings that I did while in Arizona.  Ah, to bask in warm sunshine!  We’ve had a week of sub-zero weather since returning home, making the temperature spread between Arizona and Montana nearly 100 degrees!!!  For those of you living in Cold Climates, I hope these studies warm you a bit.  Also, I must thank David Q., who saw the remarkable evening glow on the Catalina Mountains and had the inspiration to send me down to Arizona to try to paint it!  What a remarkable experience it was.I’ve posted thumbnails.  Just click on any of the images to see the enlargements.  You’ll notice that I’ve inserted a few charcoal drawings.  These are preparatory drawings for studio paintings.  This allows me to work out changes and refine my ideas.  So what you have here is a preview of coming paintings!If any of you are so inspired, I’d appreciate your feedback on the new work.
