“Gathering Storm”
Got It! After ten weeks of plein-air painting, I rewarded myself with a new Easy-L pouchade box. It’s much more advanced than the old Julian easel—and it’s much lighter. Unfortunately, I’ve been working so much in the studio on paintings for the Palmer Land Trust show (see below), I haven’t had it out for its maiden voyage yet. Here’s what it looks like now, brand new and sparkling clean.
Next Week! Friday and Saturday only!
“Art for Land Sake” Inspired by ranchland, open space, and other property preserved under conservation easements by the Palmer Land Trust, approximately 40 of the region’s top artists will exhibit over 100 works at the “Art for Land Sake” show.
An annual fundraiser for the Palmer Land Trust, 40% of each sale goes toward purchasing conservation easements to preserve lands in southeast Colorado. Last year’s show was an exciting event with sales raising thousands of dollars. I will have three paintings in the show this year, including “Morning at Red Rocks” (above). For more info on the show, go to "Art for Land Sake" Art Show
Friday, September 26th 6pm - 9pm
Saturday, September 27th 10am - 4pm

A trip to the canyons of Utah kept me out of the studio the last part of August, but I’ve been busy in September. Here’s the progress on “Morning at Red Rocks.”
