Two Sketches

A couple of recent sketches from downtown Salt Lake City,  Courthouse.  It was a beautiful sunny day that ultimately submitted to grey sky's and white snow.  Winter is just around the corner.

Evening Landscape

Exploring a bit with this one. I started with a warmer base than usual.. a strong reddish brown. I think it really adds to the contrast and mood of the scene to have those hints of warm brown showing through the top layer of paint. It set a nice unexpected tone for the piece.

Winter Sketch

Sometimes a painting is all about the mood.  It's not necessarily about the subject but rather the feeling that is painted.  That's how I feel about this sketch.

Summer Morning

OK, one more of these. I've been wanting to do this for awhile... take the same location and paint it at three different times of the day. This one is painted at early morning when the colors are far from the typical blue we think of when contemplating a sky. I think seeing the three paintings together really emphasizes the shift of light throughout the day from cool morning light to warm evening light. It's amazing how light can change a scene completely within just a few hours.

I visited family in Tucson, Arizona this past week and it was seriously hot. I'm amazed anything lives out there let alone humans. I managed to get out of the comfortable air conditioned house to explore the area and found some interesting sights... like these saguaros. They are such funny shapes in the landscape... like very still silhouettes of people scattered around the desert.

Speaking of people in deserts, my sister-in-law, Sabrina, lives in Tucson and happens to be an artist herself. She paints these wonderful watercolor illustrations that I love. The painting below is of my son, Jack. She paints commissions so go take a look! Slovly.com
