I am continuing to work on finishing plein air pieces that just needed a little more work. Because I unexpectantly had the opportunity to be represented by the Menagerie Boutique, a large chunk of my inventory for the upcoming Hidden in the Hills open studio tour is now hanging at the gallery. This is actually a great opportunity to put a little fire under my feet to complete a number of paintings that have been awaiting my attention. Here are two pieces that I have completed the last few days. The painting on the left is another piece from Lake Pleasant entitled Lake Pleasant Cliffs. The slant of the cliffs and the shoreline reflections caught my eye. It was a day with scuddling clouds which is unusual for this area. The painting on the right is the location where the mustangs or open range stock wandered into the area while we were out painting (see blog on visitors on location for a picture of the foal). I was intrigued by the path leading to an expansive area composed of the McDowell Indian reservation and the mountains around Bulldog Canyon in the far distance. I called it Mustang Trail in honor of the visitors that day.
