Late Summer Paintings

A couple of images of late summer.  Part of a series where the hero of the image is the "screen" of foliage/flowers.

Aquarelle show at Alpine Gallery

I have a few pieces in the Aquarelle show at Alpine Gallery. 430 E. South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT

It is nice to be in an all watercolor show!
The larger exhibit of my work at Harmon's City Creek is still up for another week or so.

My Springtime Florals Exhibit!

Just finished helping hang 21 of my landscapes for a "Springtime" show at Harmon's City Creek- downtown Salt Lake City. It will be up until the end of May! Come check it out!

Daybreak paintout event

I completed these paintings in preparation for the event mentioned in the last post.  It was glorious weather that day and I have been asked to paint at another event on Sat. Oct. 26 in Layton, UT.  It is an Open House for Destination Homes.
Looking forward to painting on that site!

North Beach looking toward Harriman

Daybreak Visitors Center

Oquirrh Mountain LDS Temple at edge of Daybreak

Daybreak, UT

I've been asked to "enhance" a real estate event at the planned community development called Daybreak.  I'll be onsite painting in the afternoon of Oct. 12, 2013.  Rain or shine, (shine I hope) at the new North Beach area.

I've done some advance scoping out of locations and painted this in preparation.

May sketches at Leucadia

Had another chance to go to Leucadia, California.  Here are two quick sketches focusing on the the relationship of architecture and trees.  The third is a section of succulent garden I've planted which imitates a coral reef.  It was started outdoors and finished in the studio.  Looser outdoors, then it got tighter in the studio.  That is the nature of taking a painting indoors.

Finished the "12 Gardens at Temple Square" Series

I finished the "12 Gardens At Temple Square"  Here are 3.  I painted them out of order since I didn't get one painted every month and filled in blanks over the past year and a half.  Originally I was painting gardens on and around Temple Square, then thought of Hokusai's "36 views of Mt. Fuji" and narrowed the parameters of my self assignment to include the central building of Temple Square in each painting.   I have plans to do various gardens now in the area without the inclusion of the temple.
