BIG CHIEF ROCK

14x11 inches 

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Painted Edges (may be hung without frame)

Heading south on the Lisbon Valley road the road begins to turn west and there it is! Standing one hundred fifty feet above the roadway is this spectacular formation named "Big Chief or Old Chief" by the locals. I was there for the Moab Plein Air Paint out in October and just had to paint the elegance of this formation. Actually I tried three times from two different directions.

Cool Lime

4x4 inches Oil on Panel A few pieces of a cut lime waited near the base of a large stemmed glass waiting for their turn to squeeze into the drink. What can I say about the composition? I like fresh lime drinks.
I will refund shipping costs in excess of $1 of actual shipping.

Deserted

5x7 Oil on Board

The Dolores River in Western Colorado passes near the small town of Paradox and near this beauty of a stone house now apparently used for storage and livestock.  The setting was too romantic to pass up; I mean with the untold stories of dreams and hopes, working, and just living those walls could tell.

Heber Dairy

16x20 Inches

Oil on Canvas

Traveling east along the Provo River, through the canyon by the same name, it opens into the Heber Valley where I found these cows waiting for the evening milking and more hay.  The melting snow turned the rich soil black with its moisture.  The cows had come to this spot to find dry ground where the willow trees blocked the cold wind coming off the mountains to the west.  The sound of distant neighbors rode the wind, and added to the peaceful feeling of the setting.

Winter Range

15.25 x 18.5 inches

Oil on Board $895

The Redd ranch in southern Utah sprawls for miles south of Moab.  They lease even more range land from the Bureau of Land Management and run several hundred head of sheep, and cattle there.  My friend who knew them arranged for me to take pictures of the sheep, so C Redd drove me out to the location where a Basque Sheep herder had his camp so I could get a feeling for the area.
