Bundled Up

Oil on stretched canvas, 20"x16".

This was one of those paintings that I just had to keep fussing with for a long long time! I thought it may never be finished, but I've decided to stick a fork in it and call it done. The image came from a time when DJ wrapped Alta in a blanket, and she's so passive that she won't just wrestle her way out, instead she just lays there an pouts! It was pretty cute, but a challenge to paint.

Balancing Act

Watercolor on Paper, 12"x9".

Last week DJ and I went to Slide Rock State Park in Sedona, which was lots of fun! We walked up and down Oak Creak Canon and found this really cool rock balancing on a corner, and 2 smaller rocks. Lots of people were taking pictures of themselves holding up the giant bolder or sitting under it. I love that it was blue-gray volcanic rock surrounded by the steep red walls of the canyon.

Thanks for looking!! :)

Horseshoe Bend

Watercolor on Paper, 15"x11".

I finally had a couple of days to paint whatever I wanted! I painted this off of a photo that DJ took when we visited the grand canyon a few months ago. I have been working in watercolor doing some paint elevations for the theatre world, so I decided to use watercolor instead of oils. Watercolors are pretty convenient, none of that pesky "drying time" that you deal with when using oils. The trickiest thing is that you can't cover something up if you don't like it.

Hope you like it!

These are Paint Elevations that I painted for a church's kids room. They are Watercolor on Bristol.

DJ took this photo of Alta about a year ago. It's such a cute picture, and it captures a side of Alta that visitors don't get to see... she's a closet cuddle bug!
