The most wonderful part about cloudy days is when you get those amazing cloud breaks that shine a spotlight on the landscape, making anything they touch look magical! This painting was inspired by one of those moments.

Along 89 I - Tiny Utah Landscape Painting

Along 89 - Oil on Panel - 2.5 x 3.5

This one is tinier than usual! It looks perfect on one of those tiny little easels you find at craft stores. I've been  really interested in clouds lately, and these little ACEO size paintings are perfect for doing quick studies to capture their essence.

Under a Southwest Sky III

Under a Southwest Sky III - 6x6 -  Oil on Panel

Sold

Wow. I swear it's impossible to take a bad picture on the way from Page, Arizona, to Zion NP along Highway 89! Which of course makes it easier to paint the area. Until I started painting I never noticed just how much variety of color there is in clouds. As they get closer to the horizon they turn progressively from gold to pinkish; when that was combined with the expansive views of the southwest I couldn't resist painting this scene!
