Pine Tree

Pine trees are disappearing at an alarming rate in this area. Thought I'd catch one while it still looks healthy.

View of the Arkansas

16 x 20, Acrylic on canvas 

It's an odd thing to me, since I really prefer very abstract paintings, that I tend to slowly lean further and further toward realism as I work on a subject. The previous painting is a perfect example. It bothered me for several days, so I went back in and, using the same photo to work from, did the tree by the Arkansas river in a more abstract manner. I like this a lot better, personally.

Homesick for Joshua Tree

All are Acrylic on Canvas, 16 x 20

I just spent the morning selecting these to send to a show at Joshua Tree National Park this fall. Made me so homesick for So Cal and especially Palm Springs and my weekly painting trips to Joshua Tree. What a beautiful place!
