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.

Was avoiding going out to paint till it got a little warmer ,and turned to the internet for inspiration. Always a pleasure to look at your work. Looks like a great trip. Wonderful you can take your family with you. It’s above 10 degrees now and no wind- so no more excuses. Off to paint.

Thanks, Aaron for the nice comments! Those are nice images from SW. I especially like the first one. How large are your charcoal drawings? They look pretty complete which is good for prelim to painting.
I like your blog setup. Maybe I’l give it a try sometime.
Keep up the great work!
