Korea - Woman Cleaning Fish

acrylic on canvas board, 12 x 16

I really liked the subject of this photo, from our Korean trip in 2006. Despite my attempts to paint more freely, I seem to be a bit of a detail person - never mind, I'm still new to this, and I'm still experimenting. - Chris

Was looking for a subject, and a friend had this picture. Just a quick study. - Jill

Morning Sun at Arches National Park

acrylic on canvas board, 12x16

Spectacular shadows and highlights in this view of Arches National Park - I hope I did it justice. Tried to keep it more abstract. - Chris

Utah - Bryce Canyon

acrylic on canvas, 12x16

After a long break from painting, was eager to get back to it. I managed to finish this one quite quickly, without concentrating on the detail too much. We were just stunned by the multicoloured hoodoos in Bryce Canyon - difficult to give the impression of all the striations and jagged rocks while not focussing on the details. - Chris
