"AFTER THE RAINS"

There is something that I just love about after it rains, the sun is dropping out of the sky and the air has been washed clean that strikes a cord deep inside my me.  As far back as I can remember the fascination of reflections on the wet pavement,glistening light on rain soaked leaves, all this is magical to see and paint. This painting is 60x24

"PALM SPRING SHOWERS" 12x16 original oil painting

This is crossing a part of Palm Springs that few ever travel on... It is... Nay! I was going to say where it is but I wont, I like this road to be quiet, I have driven for two hours and not pass a car, when a little younger and silly I would drive this by the light of the moon... Silly : )

"EARTH" / THE FIELD"

In deciding what to paint next, I rummaged through countless photographs I had taken.  I found this photo when I was still using film.   I had photographed this many years ago before the great mall came, before the widening of the canyon, before couples came and said "Let's make the house  BIGGER!" : )... So going through my photos and finding this snapshot, I decided to paint this small part of earth this "FIELD".   The two top photos are close-ups and the larger is the full painting. The painting is oil on canvas, 60X46 is $12000  (Sold)
