London Bridge, Lake Havasu City, Arizona

24 X 36 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contact me for prints any size
I painted this once before as a small painting and have had several requests for print renditions. So I painted it again with the intent of offering prints. Contact me...
Mike and I are already planning our summer RV trip - and I would love to add Arizona's Painted Desert to the itinerary. I know for sure we will be going to Cuchara, Colorado and my new favorite camping grounds - Mueller State Park west of Colorado City. Creede is another favorite place - we followed the Rio Grande to its humble, spectacular beginnings there last June. I doubt we will travel as far as Montana again this year, but I will feel it tugging.
During last summer's trip I took a major hit on blog visitor numbers by not posting most of the time we were gone, and I hate to do that again this year. So I suspect I will make more effort to paint on the road this summer. I need to "practice" plein aire painting before I go, though. I ENJOY painting in nature when Nature is being nice - but when I did it in Wyoming summer-before-last it was hot and windy and buggy and I whined most of the whole time. I love my studio! And I have great respect for those that paint on location!

Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer.

London Bridge in Arizona

8 X 6 Oil on Masonite $125 postage included
I normally use only my own photos as references for my paintings, but a good friend's recent trip to Arizona provided me with some lovely views of both the Grand Canyon and the London Bridge. Yes, as you may recall, the London Bridge is now in the US - at Lake Havasu City, Arizona and it has become quite a tourist attraction. I like to deviate occasionally from my landscapes and horse/cattle paintings, and this was a lovely diversion. Thanks, Ken and Pat!
Proverbs 27:9
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.
