Sedona

 Travel and how it inspires

I am very, very lucky right now. Between my recent residencies in Connecticut, California and Wyoming and my traveling now throughout the west I have seen some incredible landscapes…and it’s only the end of April. I just wanted to share some of the scenery that has been inspiring my work.

These are photos of Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Arizona, and California. I love the color and the temperature of the light in the west, now I just have to figure out how to move here. Or maybe what makes it so special is that I don’t see it all the time.

Dorland Leaves, oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 20X20″

My time at Dorland Mountain Arts Colony is coming to an end.

It is also my last of the three residencies I’ve received this winter. It has been an amazing journey. Weir Farm National Historic Site brought my work to a new level and I experienced many a break through there. Brush Creek in Wyoming was so good for my soul with its humbling majestic beauty. My work strengthened there as well.

Dorland is a truly magical place. ( I will be coming back for two additional weeks sometime this year! ). To wake each morning and look at the vista out my back porch is just an inspiring moment. Here my work in a very short time took a new turn as well. I am lucky enough to return to California and Arizona at the end of next week and I look forward to taking what I learned from the landscape around Dorland into my new work.

I’m not sure how to describe it but there’s just an atmosphere here that pushes you to create…and you just can’t ask for anything more. Thank you to the wonderful people here who make this such a wonderful place.

Here are the rest of my paintings competed at Dorland. If you’re interested in seeing works completed at Weir Farm please visit this gallery: Weir Farm Artist Residency. I will be posting my work from Brush Creek next week, it’s currently hanging at The Studio at Gulf and Pine in my show East to West along with Jean Blackburn’s work Rivers.
