Bulldog Rocks, 3x4 tiny oil painting

Bulldog Rocks

3x4 oil painting

on stretched canvas

​Bulldog Rocks are in the Salt River wilderness area, just a few miles from where I live in Mesa, Arizona. People come from all over the world to see these giant rocks that look over the Salt River, especially when the late afternoon sun turns them to gold. The best place to view them is from a place called Water Users, off the Bush Highway (Water Users refers to the place where people put in kayaks and tubes on the Salt River). This is a TINY painting -- just 3x4 inches, but a cute little thing. It's not framed, and I don't recommend framing due to its small size. It would best be displayed on a small display easel, which I will happily provide for free to the buyer of this painting.

Grape Vine, 10x8 acrylic painting

Grape Vine

10x8 acrylic painting

on archival cotton panel

This painting is a little different from my normal style, but it was fun to do. My local art group, the Gilbert Visual Art League, had a summer project to complete a macro (close-up) painting. While I was visiting some of the California missions this summer, I took close-up photos of some grapes on the vine at Mission San Antonio de Padua, north of San Luis Obispo. That became my macro subject, and voilà -- here's the finished piece!

El Rancho, 12x16 oil painting

El Rancho

12x16 oil painting

on stretched canvas

This painting was inspired by a local restaurant in northeast Mesa called El Rancho de Tia Rosa. Unfortunately, the restaurant had a fire last December and has been closed since then. But they are going to reopen in about two months. It's sad to think the beautiful building was damaged so badly, and I do hope they'll be able to restore its original look.

I've posted this painting before, but I made some minor adjustments to it, so I'm re-posting it.

Summer Roses, 8x8 oil painting

Summer Roses

8x8 oil painting

on archival Raymar panel

I recently painted these roses at a session with my friend Krista Eaton, picked fresh from her garden.

While I was putting on the final touches back at my own studio, I had just finished and was moving this painting from my easel to a shelf. Somehow it slipped from my hands and landed face-down on the floor.  Since we have two dogs, of course it picked up some of their fur.  It seems like the fur never goes away, no matter how often we vacuum.  I carefully removed as much of the loose hair as I could with a soft brush, but it's safe to say that Missy and Chewy have contributed something to this painting, too!

Red, White and Blue; 16x12 oil painting

Red, White and Blue

16x12 oil painting

on stretched canvas

I've been spending my painting time this summer working on floral paintings.  When I took a class from Hedi Moran this past May at Scottsdale Artists' School, I had the chance to take photos of all the beautiful still-life setups they had, with fresh flowers.  I painted this from one of the photos I took.  This painting is available at SteviePaints, my store on Etsy.
