NEBO COPSE

Most likely my final painting of 2009.  HAPPY NEW YEAR! (22" x 15")  $75.00

READING TIME

Two of the main reasons I haven't posted for a while.

ROCK SLOPE

West of Midway, Utah.  (15" x 22")  $75.00

MORNING SUN

It was 0.9 degrees here in eastern Nevada this morning at 7:00. I felt somewhat better when I checked Ely, Nevada, which is about 100 miles north,  and found the low there was -15 degrees!   (22" x 15")  $75.00

PROVO CANYON

(22" x 15")  $75.00

NEAR PAYSON, UTAH

A small copse off the highway.  (22" x 15")   $100.00

WEST OF MIDWAY

Autum in Utah.  (15" x 22")

PROVO RIVER II

(15" x 22")

ARACHNIPHOBIA

 Not really. Just a little fun piece. I photographed this guy/girl last September when tarantulas were "on the move."  (15" x 11")

ZIPPY

One of the ugliest dogs I've ever seen. She lived with us for over 15 years before finally meeting her demise doing one of the things she loved most: attempting to bring down a half-ton Ford pickup.  (15" x 11")

UP THE CANYON, EARLY MORNING.

This is a redo of a scene I painted last year. I decided to try it again, and I think it resulted in a better painting. (22" x 15")   $75.00

CATHEDRAL GORGE STATE PARK

An interesting place to visit.  (22" x 15")

ELEPHANT ROCK, EARLY SPRING

(15" x 22")

GRAPEVINE RAILROAD BRIDGE

This painting hangs in the Caliente Clinic, along with two other pieces that I'll add soon. I've been meaning to photograph them and add them to my data base, but just got around to doing it today. Unfortunately, some of my paintings are too far away for me to locate and photograph.  (22" x 15")

BAKER CREEK SHADOWS III

Okay, so I've painted this before. However, I sold number II and didn't realize that my better half had her eye on it for the living room. So yesterday I started and finished number III. I told her I could paint this scene (or any scene)  100 + times and no two would be alike. That's the nature of this wonderful medium we call watercolor.  ( 22" x 15") Need I say it's not for sale?

CANYON SUITE

An archive photo that I improved.  (22" x 15")  $85.00

SUNNY SEPTEMBER

Mid day in the mountains. (22" x 15")  $75.00

ICE ON ROAD

Three days before the flood January 2005.  (15" x 22")  $85.00

QUIET AFTERNOON

(22" x 15")

CANYON ROCK FORMATION II

Yet another view of this particular rock formation which is approximately three stories high and about the area of a large house. It has lots of character and looks different during the year due to the changes in light and atmosphere.  (11" x 22")   $150.00

CEDAR MOUNTAIN

The wife and I were returning from a trip to Utah one chilly February afternoon when I spotted this scene. The light was perfect.  (15" x 22")

SCRUB OAK AND ROCKS

(15" x 22")   $75.00

CANYON ROCK FORMATION

I can't remember how many times I've painted this particular rock formation.  (15" x 22")  $100.00

MAYBE SPAIN OR PORTUGAL

No longer in my collection.(15" x 11")

ANCIENT CEDAR/JUNIPER?

Haven't painted for a few days because the state "encouraged" me to serve on a jury this week. The trial lasted two days, and we the jury deliberated for a little more than an hour before reaching a verdict yesterday. Very interesting experience.  This old tree was located near a rest stop somewhere between Green River, Utah and Richfield, Utah. I liked the fact that it was there all by itself and appeared to be very old.  (22" x 15")

GOLD

The basic composition is similar, but the color palette is entirely different from the colors in the photo I took at Baker Creek two weeks ago. Unfortunately, this photo doesn't show much of the subtle light yellows that exist in the painting.  (22" x 15")   $250.00

STORM'S COMING

Near Bicknell, Utah. No longer in my collection. (22" x 15")

FALL IS IN THE AIR

We had the pleasure recently of having one of our former exchange students, a young lady from Germany, return and stay with us for three weeks. While she was here she wanted to visit  Lehmann Cave in Great Basin National Park, so we made a day trip there. This is more of the scenery around Baker Creek.  (22" x 15")  $125.00

MIDDLE DAY LIGHT AND SHADOWS

(15" x 22")

TREES AGAINST CLIFFS

From a favorite spot in Rainbow Canyon. (22" x 15")  $85.00

YESTERYEAR

(81/2" x 11")

NEGATIVE CROWS

I got this idea from an art magazine several years ago: Draw something the opposite of what it normally is.  (11" x 81/s")

UNTITLED D

Ah, pastel. That is a whole other world.  (11" x 81/2")

UNTITLED D

These three small paintings were completed over 20 years ago. Some of my first stabs at watercolor painting. (11" x 8 1/2") No longer in my collection.

UNTITLED A

NEAR THE TOP OF KOLOB

(22" x 15")    $50.00

MORNING FOG

(15" x 22")   $45.00

NEAR BOULDER, UTAH

(22" x 15")

DIP AHEAD

This and the previous post are both "improvements" over previous paintings. By this I mean that I added color and darker values to the existing paintings because I felt something was lacking in both. I feel this action made both paintings stronger.  (22" x 15")   $75.00

SUNRISE SONATA

(22" x 15")   $50.00

TREE I

(8" x 11")
