Zion!

9 x 9 pastel on sanded paper

I saw something on TV last night that reminded me of a late evening that I spent in Zion NP last fall. Fortunately I had a photo that I took so I revived the moment on paper...

Somewhere

4 x 8 pastel on Pastelmat

I wanted to try out some new pastels tonight but didn't have a lot of time so I did this little sketch from memory of a ranch house I saw somewhere in Southern Utah. 

Ranch Sky

Today I went hiking at Daley Ranch in Escondido. A storm just passed through so the air was cool and clear and there were still some clouds left behind from the storm...

Torrey Pines Trail

8 x 10 pastel on sanded paper

Got out again with the San Diego Plein Air Painters Group. This time we met at the new trail section at Torrey Pines State Park. We went once before but the fog was thick and drizzly. This time... glorious sun!

Back Again - I Hope...

I've been working on a major project at work and haven't been attending to my blog for quite a while. But it's time to get back to it so Hopefully I can keep up again.

Thanks to everyone who has kept in contact with me while I was slaving in the salt mines...
