crossing Crowdus

From a blind snapshot as I drove down Elm St and pointed the camera out the window. Tried to capture the broiling July heat. Sold.

Willow Street garage

This location is about one block from my current studio. One my first paintings with a value underpainting. I always paint a value monochrome now, so this is the first painting of my current style. Sold.

Superstition mountains

Painted from a chance photo I saw on Instagram. Contacted the photographer/artist who wrote a contract and licensed the photo to me for $20. Enjoyed painting the sunset glow and envisioning Apache Junction as a tile-like abstraction. Sold.

Marfa trailers

Slightly fantastical vision of El Cosmico trailer park. Magenta dust. Private collection.

near Crested Butte

After about a year of trial and error at larger paintings in my new studio, I think I'm
starting to figure out my version of how to make a painting. 60 x 90 cm.

big peach tree, New Orleans

Painted from a photo I took of a side yard near Audobon Park. I was struck by the abstract color pattern of the spring grass, magenta blossoms and sky. I'm happy with the looseness of the tree and the shade it casts. 20" x 16" Private collection.

Oak Creek, Sedona AZ

Painted from a friend's Instagram. I enjoyed developing a long, shadowed view that focused to a sunlit patch in the distance. 32" x 43"
