So goals are funny things, you make them and then life seems to speed up around you. I've been commissioned to do two murals of the magnificent Southern Utah landscape in a new to be opened business. Sorry all, I can't disclose just yet which business, its still on the down low. Needless to say, I haven't been able to make my daily life study goal. I've been driving all over looking for places to use as inspiration. I've been getting a lot of references as well as plein aire studies and I thought I'd share a few.

This was a small daily study I did of a clove of garlic from the garden before I got this commission.

God's Country, looking from Cedar breaks. The master painter never continues to amaze me.

While picnicking at Cedar Breaks I got in two studies of trees and thought you might like to see them before I officially put them on my website.

both are 9 x 13.5 odd size I know, but I love the long format. I'm going to prepare more panels in that size so I can work that way more.
The top one took a little longer but they were about an hour a piece.

Ok... so I deleted my own comment but that's just because I can't spell so I'm re-commenting:)
I said that I love your quick studies. The trees are great, but I especially love the garlic clove. It is simple and elegant and just lovely.
