Desert Mountain View Studio Painting

DESERT MOUNTAIN VIEW

This is a recent oil painting done on canvas.  It is 24" x 36".  I love painting desert paintings.  There can be so much drama and I hope that I have captured that and done justice to this area near Tucson, Arizona.

Day's End - Oil on Board - 24" x 39" - a newer version

This is a newer version of my ethereal landscape I just posted. I had some feedback and felt I needed to address some issues. I know you probably can't tell much by this jpeg but I lightened the mountains in back just a little, removed an orange form in the sky that was bothering me and put some more tree holes here and there. I took out some highlight and added some. This may sound picky to you but I think these are the things that make a painting go from good to great.

LAGUNA COVE - OIL ON BOARD - 10" X 14"

SOLD This is a plein air feild study of Laguna Cove. It was a really interesting day. It started off really foggy....like you were inside a cloud. Very interesting. Then the fog began to burn off and this is what I got. I love to paint in California because the weather changes from morning to evening but you can always paint something and there is lots to paint.

Field of Gold - Oil on Board - 14" x 11"

This is an imaginary landscape using my new technique. I think it turned out quite well. I am still trying to live with the heat here in Tucson. I can't go out and paint so I have to make things up or use photos but I still paint on!

Pandaries 2 - Oil on Board - 8" x 12"

Here is another plein air I did while I was away in New Mexico. When I look at it I feel cool again! It is SOLD.

West of Gates Pass - 9" x 12" - Oil on Board

This is my first palette knife painting. It was really fun doing it but also frustrating because of the awkwardness I felt with the palette knife. Having said that, I had fun and I am going to do more.

Falls Creek - Pastel on Paper - 16" x 22"

There is a beautiful place just outside of Durango and each time I visit, it takes my breath away. I love painting this area! This original pastel painting is SOLD. If you are interested in seeing more of my paintings, you can go to: http://www.judithdagostino.com
