Monument Valley

Monument Valley

Monument Valley is a remarkable place. When you visit, it will stay with you forever. The vastness of it is incredible and that sky, well, it takes your breath away. One of the interesting things we noticed is that the white clouds had a red cast to them on the bottom, from the reflection from the ground. When I got home, I just couldn't get the vision of this place out of my mind. This was a joy to paint.

The Veil

The Veil
9 x 12 inches
Oil on wood panel

I have been fiddling away with three large paintings that are 99 percent finished, but I never seem to call it quits with them. So yesterday, I decided to paint something I could finish at one time. This painting is based on the photo of a lovely friend, who graciously allowed me to use her image as inspiration.

I currently have paintings for sale on eBay. You can find them here.
