Five new paintings for Richard Danskin Galleries

"Desert Sunset" 30" x 24" oil on gallery-wrap canvas.  I've been painting madly for the past four weeks.  Finished four new oils and almost another. Getting ready for a show at my new gallery.  I am now represented by Richard Danskin Galleries in Palm Desert, CA. I will be painting live in the gallery for my "opening" night when they introduce me as their newest artist.  Thursday, December 1st from 5PM - 9PM.  "Desert Sunset" is the first of five new works that will be unveiled at the December 1st reception.

Desert Sunset

Two years ago I did a painting a day for 4 months. It was really quite energizing, though kept me from larger pieces. Those small 6 x 8" oils were some of my best sellers. I'm trying to do a few of them for the upcoming Indian Wells Arts Festival.
This one is 8" x 10" and just fell off the brushes. It was really fun to do something loose and quick. Let's see how disciplined I can be for the next 10 days.

Sunset Serenade

It was so much fun to just whip something off in less than a day after working on the zinnia for weeks and weeks. This is a repeat of the image that was used on the Desert Symphony program cover for this season. The original was 6 x 8" and had sold before I even entered the contest. I decided to try it again in 16 x 20" size with a little more subdued coloring. This is the view from my patio. Desert sunsets, cactus and hummingbirds seem to be selling well this year here. I'm building up my inventory for the Indian Wells Arts Festival coming up April 1,2,3.

And, Miles to Go

Just for fun.....a little side trip from the bee series. Watercolor 12.5 x 18.5 on Arches 300# cold press.
