And Oil Painting Adventures

This is a plein air painting of an old farmhouse painted in Francis, Utah last fall. I was out painting with my friend, David Dean. The painting is 7x12" with a Rett Ashby frame. Thank you Springville Museum of Art! The house, the scene, reminded me of my grandmother's house and all the great memories I have of my time visiting with my grandparents. I can still smell those cinnamon rolls! [...]

I'll try to get a better photo of this plein air painting of the old farmhouse.  I took the photo with my cell and had to crop a lot of the painting off to straighten my photo.  My painting won a Certificate of Merit in the Spring City, Utah plein air competition the week preceding Labor Day 2015.  The judge was Kathryn Stats!! I'm very pleased.  And thank you to the couple who purchased my painting !!   [...]

This photo was taken at a very recent plein air competition in Spring City, Utah recently, and as such the photo was taken in a rush with my cell phone.  So, sorry for the blurry picture but the colors and values quite accurate.     Thank you for purchasing my painting at the show!! [...]

My cell phone photo of my plein air oil painting is a bit glare-y but it's all I have at the moment.  Just finished this in the Spring City Plein Air competition 9/2015.  I'm very pleased with this painting of the old hay barn and cabins. 12x16" oil [...]

This is my little painting I did this morning, 7/3/15, in Midway, UT. This little farm house with the red roof has been one of my favorite scenes of Midway for years.  The photo turned out way too yellow from the lighting and the trees are darker but this is the best pic I have at the moment.  It's nice to win something once in awhile. Even better, I had a great time painting with good friends.     Sold!  Thank you to the wonderful family who bought my painting!!  It was great to meet you.   [...]

This is another of my plein air entries in the Spring City Plein Air competition this week, the end of August 2013.  I had a wonderful time painting in this little historic town in central Utah.  The town has lots of sheep, cows, horses, chickens and old houses, amazing landscapes and views, and wonderful artists.  My kind of place!

$1275 available at the show - Wasatch Plein Air Paradise This is a plein air painting I finished today for the Midway Plein Air Paradise Competion in Midway, UT. I have painted this location before and I'm pleased with the out come. I only got one entry in this year because I'm busy with studio paintings. My gallery in Park City, Robert Kelly Gallery, just sold most of my work. So I'm busy building inventory again - a nice problem to have. [...]

My personal Plein Air Painting painting challenge for the rest of 2011 is to paint at least one plein air painting a week for the rest of the year. I find myself painting a lot in the small town of Midway Utah. [...]
