Arizona Sycamore 5x7 Oil

This painting was from a photo reference of an arizona sycamore tree in Harshaw, AZ. It depicts the base of the tree behind a fire-pit where my family camped each year in the Patagonia Mtns when I was a kid. This was taken in August in the middle of monsoon season and I had never seen it that green before. Usually when camping it was fall, winter, spring before foliage returned. I plan to make it back down there soon to paint more sycamores plein air. until then i will continue to work off of my photo references that I have taken. Once my kids resume school again I will be able to get outside again and paint, until then Studio work for me. I hope you all enjoy this one and you can look forward to more sycamore tree's in a series from me soon! Thanks.

Autumn Cottonwood, Oil 4x6 on Masonite

I hadn't painted in a while and had planned on doing a whole autumn/winter series of paintings before christmas. Life gets in the way sometimes. This is of a Cottonwood in the autumn, and is one of three in my backyard. Though it isn't my favorite type of tree, I thought the colors were nice. The leaves on mine have since changed and fallen, and we have actually had some major snowfall in the desert recently. This is from a photo I took in November and painted in my studio between layers on my portraits of my kids for the grandparents. Note: Portrait update coming soon!!
