'Pomegranate Shadows'
5x7 oil on canvas panel
Another pomegranate painting .. a close crop with the focus on the cast shadow design. These small studies are fun to do .. and using amazing reds is especially rewarding. Enjoy!
'Hite Overlook'
First time painting on a cradled wood panel .. gessoed white .. then a layer of magenta acrylic. I like the wood surface .. not as slick as I thought it might be. From an overlook along the highway .. northern end of Lake Powell in Utah .. The focus of this piece is on the abstract patterns made by the rock formations that used to be covered by the lake. Hite was a busy marina for houseboats and fisherman .. no more. This scene is from when there was still some lake water .. but because of persistent droughts in the Southwest .. only the ancient Colorado River flows by now I might paint a pink glaze over the finished piece like this earlier version .. I like it :) 16x16 oil on wood panel natural maple frame Gallery 24 - Torrey Utah
