These are studio paintings that have been made the last few years as a continuation of "The Western Jaunt", as the series begun in 1993 was called.
These are new landscapes, enlarged from paintings painted plein air, or on site, 15 years ago.
This big painting of the sun going down is from the same spot as the site painting just made, it was made last year using a older site painting.
I don't usually use such an old painting as I like the natural information to be fresh in my mind. But also there is an artificiality I like that is more like Art, and I have made numerous paintings from this original plein air through the years.
This Nature and Art thing are a constant tug and pull.
