A good day for cruising down some country roads.  I never tire of painting the ever changing skies.

Orange Tree Orchard Original Oil Painting

Orange Tree

6x6 inch oil

Once again, I really struggled with getting a decent picture of a painting.  Goodness.  Wet paint, darks, warms and cools, my camera just couldn't do it all.  Of course I am sure there is plenty lacking on the human side of things as well.  Anyway, I am happier with the painting in person than this image.

The Memorial Day parade was very special yesterday.  I enjoyed watching the parade and of course the people, waving their flags, that lined the route as well.

The storm on the horizon and the sun in the foreground made the desert color muted yet still highlighted.  Very interesting.

The hazy blues and purples in the distance really make the desert greens and yellows pop.

Southwest Wildflowers

6x8 inch

oil on canvas panel

Another larger piece from my usual 6x6.  I also cannot remember the last time I have painted on canvas.  These flowers grew right along the roadside and resembled mini sunflowers.  Their yellow was complimented by the purples and blues of the elevations in the distance.

8x8 inch

I know I have said this before, but after painting on the little 6 inch squared I can't get over how much bigger these 8 inch squared paintings look in comparison.  I guess if you think about it a 6x6 is 36 square inches of surface area while an 8x8 is 64 square inches, so that is a considerable difference.  whoa, that is about as far into math  I am going to tread, haha.
