One morning I got on my bike to head to work and found an artist out on the street.
She was painting my house.
Her name was Denise.

I appreciate your sentiment, Phylpy.
Why don't some of you try to see this exhibit if it comes your way? I was lucky enough to see it with Ayshegul on my day trip.

Jefe, your last post opening line sounds like a Steven Wright joke. "One morning I got on my bike to head to work and found an artist out on the street. She was painting my house." Badaboom. Seriously, I wish someone would show up and paint my house. Denise did a good job.
Here's the studio today. Getting ready for a show in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for you comments Paul and neebee! I've always been a big fan of most all the 20th century landscaoe artists, Paul. Did you catch the Edgar Payne exhibit when it came to Cal last year. That was a real eye opener for me. I'll never be the same artist after seeing that show. Not that I want to paint like him, but the dedication to his craft was incredible and the sizes of the paintings was inspiring!
neebee, The studio is part of my garage. Just left of the paintings is a big pile of climbing gear and assorted non-art stuff. It can be crowded sometimes but at least I have a place to work. These works are going to be in specific shows. The highest Grand Canyon painting in the middle will be in the Grand Canyon plein air exhibit in Aug. The others will be at two outdoor shows - the Tempe Festival of Arts April 5-7 or the Phippen Art Show in Prescott over Memorial Day weekend. I'll have upwards of 30-40 paintings of various sizes for both of those shows.

Good luck Bill.
I wish I could afford one of your paintings...maybe a print?
It doesn't seem like the Mtn or the Butte are subjects of your work, but if they were...

bc, didn't see the show but have had the opportunity to see many of his paintings in SF and at Trotter and a couple of other "good" galleries in nearby Carmel. I've gotten considerable help from his book Composition of Outdoor Painting. His analysis of composition has been a huge influence on me. Love that book... which now has paint fingerprints all over it! Also his use of color which, like yours, has a remarkable sense of unity.
