Art Residency

 

I was invited to Mesa Verde National Park to be their “Artist in Residence” for the first two weeks of May.  They allowed me to explore 800-year-old cliff dwellings on Wetherill Mesa on my own, and to enter Cliff Palace after hours in order to paint without the distraction of hourly tours.  As Artist in Residence, I lived on Chapin Mesa in a historic Hogan made of native stone and whole tree trunks.  During my two weeks at Mesa Verde I produced a number of studies.  One of these will become a full-sized painting, which I will donate to Mesa Verde National Park to be part of their collection.

Escalante Plein Air (Painter’s Holiday)

 

After I hung the show at the Wine Store in April, I realized that I have plenty of large paintings for my 2008 exhibits.  That left me free to go out and practice plein air (outdoor) painting in and around Escalante.  Here are some of the results.  The studies are mostly 11x14 because I had a windfall of masonite panels to use.
