I have painted this scene of the Virgin river near Zion Nation Park a few times in the past and have never been fully satisfied with the results.  So I tried another small one of this scene.  I'm still not really satisfied with it, so I will probably try try again.

I painted this one several years ago and decided to paint it again.  I started the painting a month ago before our trip to Glacier National Park and finished it yesterday.  I took many photos of landscapes and wildlife on our trip through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana that I plan on using for new paintings.

I painted this scene from a photo I took near Gunnison, Colorado last year.  When we travel through that part of the country, we often stop at a rest stop before we get to Blue Mesa Reservoire and take a walk along the river.  The photo of this scene was taken from the bridge that crosses a stream that flows into the river.  It is such a beautiful area--this painting really takes me back!

I took a photo of this scene in the Wichita Mountains years ago and have painted it several times.  It's one of my favorite scenes to paint because of the variety of color.  This time I decided to paint it in this horizontal format.

I took a photo of this old wagon years ago in a small town in Colorado.  It was early fall and the leaves were just beginning to turn color.

This painting was painted from a photo taken of a lake in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  Few people know the name of this small lake.  I had to look it up on a map in order to name it.  I enjoyed painting the rocks and the reflections in the water.

I like painting cows with interesting spots and patterns.  This is a longhorn heifer in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.
