Palo Duro Canyon 5

8 X 6 Oil on Canvas Board $115
Includes shipping and insurance

I am still playing around with painting the canyon in anticipation of doing it much larger. This one is mostly palette knife with lots of colorful paint. I have a wonderful patron who has supplied me with several fabulous photos of Palo Duro and I am using quite a bit of artistic license with them!
I will have to be careful where I place this one to dry, as it will take longer than usual with so much paint on it. I have been given a little kitten who is temporarily living in the studio. Georgia knows not to "touch" but the kitten is eons away from acquiring manners. I have to be careful to place her in the bathroom when I walk out of the studio, too. I have forgotten a couple times, but so far have avoided any mishaps (such a kitten prints through my paint palette!) Hmmm - that could be a new painting technique......

He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot— come, let us rejoice in him.

Palo Duro Inspiration

The colors in Palo Duro Canyon change dramatically with the time of day and the seasons of the year. We spent a crisp November week camping there several years ago and I cannot wait to go again.
I have a potential collector who has sent me photos from the canyon along with a commission request. At this point I am experimenting with color and composition. I have already painted this site several times, and each time the resulting image changes - much like the canyon itself.
I still have several other ideas in my head - so keep watching!
Luke 12:37
It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.

Palo Duro Canyon, Texas

8 X 6 Oil on Masonite $115
Includes shipping and insurance

I am still experimenting with color and technique. Palo Duro Canyon, near Amarillo is a colorful treat for the eyes in every season, and as the day progresses, the colors continue to change as well.

We camped there several years ago in November and the weather was fabulous. Crisp, clear air greeted us every morning. Our campsite was in the bottom of the canyon, so the overall feeling was of being in the mountains. When the sun finally rose over the canyon walls and hit us on the canyon floor, it was nearly like being in Colorado. And the hiking trails were varied enough to please not only the strollers, but also the serious hikers who enjoy challenges.

Palo Duro Canyon, Texas

24 X 36 Oil on Canvas Not For Sale

Several years ago we spent Thanksgiving weekend camping at Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle. Yes, it was risky camping in November in that part of Texas, but we were blessed with extraordinary weather. I had broken my leg a year earlier and this was the first camping trip where I could actually hike a little bit. The second morning there, we awoke hearing a strange swooshing noise and upon investigation discovered several hot air balloons taking off and rising up the canyon walls. Permits are rarely granted to balloonists at Palo Duro because the air currents are undependable, but this weekend was perfect - with crystal blue skies and cool, still air. And since there were few other campers, we felt we were really special with an air show just for us!
The foundation for the studio addition is poured and setting up. It's 22 degrees this morning but I think the concrete is dry enough to not worry about it. Walls start to go up Tuesday - we hope. I started walking every morning with several friends and have not missed a day in 2 weeks. And three of those days were in the 20's. But the wind is gusty today, so I think I'll stay in and make a fire and plan some paintings, instead.
Matthew 7:25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
