Fall is here, and I've been really enjoying painting and mountain biking
in the crisp weather, among the great autumn colors.
The top photo shows me during the 'Quick Draw' at the Grand Canyon plein
air event.  This was my sixth time, I've been a part of it since the
beginning, and a top seller each year.  This year I was once again one
of the top 3 or 4 selling artists in the show.  I sold nearly all of the
20+ paintings I did during the week on opening weekend, along with my
studio piece and quick draw.  In fact, I just sent 7 more paintings to
replenish my wall, as the show hangs at the famous Kolb Studio until the
end of the year.
I had great fun painting with all my talented artist friends; seeing and
learning from them is always a treat.  In the evenings, a few lies might
have been told over campfires and beer, but only a few.   :-)
Since my return from the canyon, I've been back in the studio with
renewed passion, painting like a mad man.  Having a successful show is
always invigorating, and I think I'm still enjoying an energy burst from
the GC Event.
Visit my website   for images
of some of these latest inspired works. 
I also have some photos from some of my recent adventures on my Facebook
page  , if you're interested.
Our local paper does an annual 'Art and Gallery Guide', and they did a
nice 'advertorial' on my celebrating 16 years of selling art in Jerome.
Here's the article
 .
One thing they mentioned in the article was the fact that I've been
invited to participate in 'Travelling the West' which will be held at
Southwest Gallery in Dallas in October 2015.  This is one of the largest
galleries in Dallas, and the show is expected to be one of the more
predominate shows of the year.
For all you artists out there, it's time to think about the Colorado
River as it flows through the Grand Canyon. Next year's artist trip has
been announced by the Sedona Arts Center. This will be an 8-day rafting
trip May 6 - 13, 2015. We always have an incredible trip, with lots of
photos and paintings and adventure. Consider joining us! Contact me for
details at [email protected]   or
visit my River Trips   page
for more info first. You must be registered by Jan. 1 so the outfitter
can secure permits from the Park service.
In just a couple of weeks, I'll be heading for Zion National Park once
again for their plein air event. Time flies.
As always, I have some great new pieces in the studio. Come on by and
see for yourself if you can make it to Jerome.  Many of my new
landscapes are posted here on my website.
   Let me know if you see
something that might look great on your walls.
