Red Mountain Sunset, 6x8 oil painting

Red Mountain Sunset
6x8 oil painting on Raymar canvas panel

 I live at a place called Red Mountain in Mesa, Arizona.  We are right next to the Tonto National Forest and the Salt River Recreation area.  I painted this from a photo I took along the Salt River, as the sun was setting against Red Mountain.

Red Rock Sunset, 8x10 oil painting

Red Rock Sunset
8x10 oil on Raymar canvas panel

I took a trip to Sedona a couple years ago, and I was lucky to get some nice sunset photos.  I painted this from one of those photos.  What the heck is the name of this location?  I can't remember, but it's right off the main road in Sedona.

I recently took a one-day class from Joni Falk, a great artist and a lovely person. I painted this from a photo during the class.  What a fun day we had.

Prickly Poppies

Prickly Poppies
5x7 watercolor on 140 lb. paper

Prickly poppies grow wild in the desert southwest.  As pretty as they are, they are poisonous to animals.  I guess the prickly part is a warning!   I painted this from a photo I took several years ago.    This painting is unframed, but will ship with a white acid-free  matte, ready for framing.

Take A Bow, 6x6 oil painting

Take a Bow
6x6 oil on Raymar cotton panel

Another yellow flower -- I posted one yesterday, too!   I paint many sunflowers, and this is a study I did from photos I took of my own sunflowers last summer.   Good practice.

Sky Dreamer, 14x11 watercolor painting

Sky Dreamer
14x11 Watercolor on 140 lb. Fabriano hot press paper

I painted this portrait of my husband as a gift for him.  Bob has volunteered with the  Maricopa County Sheriff's Posse for the past 13 years.  While he has served in several different positions, last year he was thrilled to have been given the opportunity to serve in the Aviation Division as a Technical Flight Officer (second in command).  A lifelong aviator from a family of aviators, Bob earned his helicopter certification last year, realizing the dream of a lifetime.  One of his co-workers had taken this photo of him in the helicopter, and when I saw the subject matter, I knew I had to paint it.  It is the most difficult and complicated painting I've ever done.
