Reach

Reach - A Bryce Canyon Tree", 3'x4', acrylic on canvas

Another canvas complete for the black and white show in May. I've been wanting to paint this tree since I saw it on vacation in Bryce Canyon in 2009. My daughter, Lillian, and I saw it hanging onto a cliff and reaching skyward. It is hard to understand how these bare trees continue to hold on to the cliffs from year to year without falling into the canyon. This seems to us an amazing feat and the lines that they create against the sky are always quite satisfying.

Sheep

'Sheep' is 4'x4', acrylic on canvas. I thought that I would sit next to it to give you proportion on this one. Still working on the black and whites for the show at Bountiful/Davis Art Center on May 13th. So, you will see a few more within the next month or so. These have been very tedious, though, I am enjoying the results...especially when seeing multiple paintings on the same wall! If you are in town for the show please come by; it should be a lot of fun!
