another sketch from Joshua Tree...sunset painting from our climbing pad, up about 100ft or so from the desert floor. including a close up of the painting (watercolor) and the view from up there. this was our first evening there and it was still warm out! 🌅 @joshuatreenps #sketchbook #skainting #watercolor #watercolorsketch #sunset #joshuatreesunset (at Joshua Tree National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIW9Z1-F8f3/?igshid=91x4ltcx7z76

had the privilege to visit the Coffman Ranch just outside town as part of a plein air painting group this morning. The Coffmans have donated a portion of their ranch to @aspenvalleylandtrust and a few artists have been asked to paint AVLT conservation easements as part of a show at the @aspen_chapel_gallery next fall. so much to look at! only made 4 tiny “skaintings” and hope I got some good photos so I can work bigger over the winter months. Every time I get to paint outdoors...and esp old barns and farming equipment...I can’t help but think of college days out and about rural Illinois. Happy memories. 🚜 #skainting #watercolor #sketch #pleinair #carbondaleco #avlt #aspenvalleylandtrust #roaringforkvalley https://www.instagram.com/p/CFnhSACF8Gi/?igshid=14jbrvnbnw1b9

little skaintings (as my college art professor would say) up old snowmass. first steps towards larger, more finished works in a group exhibition fall of 2021 in support of @aspenvalleylandtrust and @theaspenchapelgallery I don’t do plein air too often, but I do really enjoy it. good to get outside and see how beautiful nature still is...I forgot I guess! ⛰ #skainting #avlt #aspenvalleylandtrust #aspenchapelgallery #oldsnowmass #probablyshouldknowthatmountainpeak #watercolorsketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrWPDoD0Nh/?igshid=oxqzamafj365

Added some pen lines at tonight’s @rfdrawingclub to a watercolor skainting I made in mid September at Avalanche Creek. Don’t usually go back into old sketches, but it turned out well. . . . #rfdrawingclub #skainting #watercolorandpen https://www.instagram.com/p/BodPSFglRaH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rkkkfyrdlrf3
