Dimensions: 11 x 15 Artist's Statement about this work: Last fall, an old copy of Philip Jamison's book, Making Your Paintings Work, found me in a used bookstore. Since then, I have painted over 30 of his pieces; he is a master of design. I was at the point that I felt like I had learned a lot from copying his pieces, but I needed to take what I had learned and apply it. I tried a few paintings but wasn't pleased with the results. One day I decided to take a house I had previously painted and add distant fields, like his, to the background. I liked the results. I let this painting sit for a few weeks and decided to make the sky more stormy and add a lake. This painting is a step forward for me and I am glad I was able to incorporate what I had learned from Philip Jamison's book. Sale Price: 600.00

"Dry Creek No More"

Dimensions: 10.25 x 13.5 Artist's Statement about this work: I painted this piece from a photo I had taken a few years ago during a very wet, stormy spring. The rain clouds and the constantly shifting sunshine made for the most incredible lighting and I took a lot of photos that day. Dry Creek is a "part-time" drainage into the town of Alpine, from the upper snowfields of Lone Peak, Pfeifferhorn, White Baldy, and Box Elder Peak. It fairly rages during spring runoff, and when all the snow is gone, it earns its name. Sale Price: $450.00
