Grand View Sunrise

Grand View Sunrise is a 18X24 acrylic which was based on a photo taken at the Grand View in Grand Canyon in the middle of winter. It was interesting doing this painting because the photo did some things to the scene that may or may not have been in the original scene due to the light and extreme brightness of the sun. I included some of these aspects in the painting because I wanted to capture the brightness of the morning sun breaking through the snow.

Ocean Sunset, August 12, 2015

I just love the ocean and it has been one of the things that I calms me the most and even when I am just painting it, the picture soothes my soul. This was a 18X24 acrylic that is up in a gallery in Phoenix or will be soon through PSA Art Awakenings.

Cacti Garden

The picture of the Cacti that I used for this painting was from the Tohono Chul Park in Tucson, AZ and the butterfly was from one at the Botanical Gardens when they do butterfly magic in their greenhouse. I combined the pictures and integrated something different for the background. This is an acrylic on a 10X10 canvas.

Autumn Pond Acrylic

This was another acrylic created this fall as the Autumn Pond of the Journey to the Autumn Pond. I have this up in a gallery at Art Awakenings in Phoenix, AZ and at this very moment I am not sure what I used for the final name of the painting. This is also another 20X16 Acrylic which seems to be my favorite size to do as of late.

Tree of Life Acrylic

This is the Tree of Life Acrylic that I completed recently; it is also another 16X20 format. This painting was in process for over a year before I finished deciding what I wanted to do with it to complete it. I like the idea of the creative with the spiritual again with the fire gates behind it guarding the tree and the fresh new tree in front for the actual tree of life.

Purple Mountains Majesty

This is a 16X20 Acrylic called Purple Mountains Majesty. It has a bit of the Southwest added into it for a little bit of home with the saguaro cacti.

Purple and Teal Centering Acrylic

I made this acrylic that is 16X20 for a commission for a worker at 711 who found out I was an artist and requested one of my centering acrylic's in Purple and Teal. I like doing these a lot as they are very calming like making a mandala.I got a computer again, so I can finally get posts back on this website. Going to try to keep up with it as life is a bit crazy right not preparing for a new baby girl.
