Pick-up Trip to Phoenix

It is time to start picking up painting in Phoenix from the last November’s juried shows deliveries. This trip was for Arizona Artists Guild (AAG), juried show for AAG juried member at Beatitudes Campus, Glendale Arizona to celebrate Arizona’s centennial. It’s like having your kids come home on spring break. My painting are easy to live with and are missed when off to a gallery, a show or shared with a collector.


Sedona's Oak Creek at Cathedral Rock

Mix Media Watercolor
"Peoples Choice Award"

 One award was given at the show which was a “People’s Choice Award. For me this award is more important than “Best of Show,” even though I’ll take a Best of Show any day of the week. Best of Show is the opinion of one juror; with People’s Choice awards a whole bunch of people have to like the art during the period of time it is hanging in the show.

This one of my favorite paintings; each morning I woke to this native high desert flowering plant. It kept bugging me until I committed to paint their portrait. They were happy and I was pleased with the results. Hope you also enjoy this watercolor.





La Posada Hotel Hollyhock Garden Winslow Arizona

Watercolor

I’m fortunate to have a wonder friend and neighbor, Paula Potter, a photographer who just loves to travel and share her adventures with me. The blue door first caught my attention and then you are able to move into and visit this notable hollyhock garden at the historical La Posada Hotel in Winslow Arizona. The color of and shadows on the blue door were my challenge for this watercolor. Enjoy your travels.
