Wilde Meyer Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona, is having its annual “Gem Show” featuring small works. I’m showing a sweet little two-panel painting of the Santa Catalina mountains near Tucson. The show runs until January 2, and then moves to Tucson. For more information on this show and other events at Wilde Meyer Gallery, go to WildMeyer.com.

 


”Santa Catalina”, 6” x 12” (two panels), oil on canvas, $375

 

 

 

With the holidays approaching, I’ve struggled to get quality time in the studio for the past month. Here is the step-by-step progress on one painting I finished. If you visited during the Studio Tour, you may have seen it in its earliest stage.

 


Using a grid, I make a quick sketch of the image.

 

Then I block in the values and color scheme, establishing the lightest and darkest areas.

 

Then it’s just a matter of tightening the detail and adjusting the values and color until…

 

…it’s finished.

Wishing you the happiest of holidays

and

All of the best in the new year.

Thank-you for your kind support. It’s been a great year.

Read the adventures (and non-adventures) of an artist. What’s the story behind the paintings? Every event is shockingly true. Read the Journal if you dare.
