10 recent paintings

The Next 10 postings are some of my most recent paintings.   I have about 10 more recent works that I will post at a later date.  I've been very busy painting and fell behind on my posting - "MY BAD!!!"

My urge to paint the Southwest is overpowering and in the past month I have painted at least 25 such paintings.  Lots of these paintings are from photos I took while living in and visiting AZ - some of them are what I call "MINDSCAPES" that is to say they are a vision in my mind that I translate onto the painting surface.  Some my be real scenes within my memory and others are truly visions within my mind.

These works represent a semi loose painterly style done with a large brush using gusto and spontaneity.

I hope you enjoy your tour of the Southwest.

My posting has not been very good!!!!!

Tomorrow 10/16/16 I hope to post quite a few recent paintings.  I've been on a Southwest painting binge lately and have been delinquent in posting my work.  So tomorrow instead of painting I hope to spend a long time getting quite a few of my recent works up onto the blog.  See y'all tomorrow!!!
