Oil Painting, Twisted Sister, 6x6 Oil on Canvas Board, Sedona, Arizona Landscape


This tree was on a trail that goes up from the Airport Vortex in Sedona, Arizona. We walked the trail until it became so narrow and hazardous that we wisely turned back. The view was breathtaking, and so was the thin air. Below is my husband enjoying the view from the wide part of the trail.

Red Rock Crossing, 10x10 Oil on Canvas

This is Cathedral Rock again. After we went in the right direction to look for good views, we found this scene, and I hung out over the river to get this shot. A few minutes later we found THE view that is photographed more than any other rock formation in Arizona (see my post on May 29th titled "Cathedral Rock"). Today's painting is smaller, but that did not make it any easier to paint. There is a lot going on there, and I even eliminated the swimmers I saw braving the icy waters.

Just Before Sunset, 5x7 Oil on Canvas Panel

This is my first attempt at a Sedona scene. We were waiting for sunset, and the light was just getting to that stage that's hard to capture. I will soon paint a sunset, but it won't be believable. They are just too fantastic-looking, just like Florida sunsets.
