"A Barn For Sybil"
A very good friend of mine said she liked paintings of barns. So, this is named for her. 

"On the Way to Kanab"

This painting was done as part of a trip to Zion National Park, Mt. Carmel,Utah and surrounding areas. We saw this pond by the side of the road on our way to Kanab, so we stopped and I did a preliminary painting which I followed with this one in my studio.

Mid-Valley Arts League 2005 Annual Show

In previous posts I said I was entering two paintings in the Mid-Valley show. Much to my surprise, I found out today that both had won Honorable Mention awards in the Landscape category. The paintings are shown in archives as "Sierra Vista" and "Monument Valley". I am encouraged by these awards since they are the first since I started painting watercolors about four years ago. Having just attended the awards ceremony, I can appreciate the long road ahead if I ever hope to paint like the top award recipients.

"Sierra Vista" A painting I am entering in the 2005 Mid-Valley Arts League annual show starting 3/16/2005. Actually, this is a scene depicting Three Bay Lake in Milestone Basin, a remote part of the Sierras I have backpacked to on three occasions.

This is Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona.This is painted from a sketch made while visiting there with a painting group in 2003.

This is a test of my ability to publish to my blog and to include pictures of my art.

Last evening I exhibited 13 paintings in the Glendora "Art on the Avenue" event. No sales, but it was fun and a new experience. The next one is on June 10. Below is one of the paintings shown - Monument Valley. I intend to submit this to the Annual Mid-Valley Arts League show next week.
Below further is a painting I posted a few weeks ago as an experiment in setting up this blog.
