The Southern California Apple Valley has no apples that I'm aware of, it's fairly arid but still filled with rich colors.

These are studies of the work of Edgar Payne that I did many years ago. I've done a great many of these types of studies over the years and am a much better artist for it. They are about 3"x4" and done in acrylics on crescent cold press illustration board.

I went through the archives looking for anything seasonal but there are no white Christmases where I live. This sketch of a snow drifted bridge in Idaho was the best I could come up with.

Happy Holidays!

If you'll allow an occasional digital sketch thrown in with the usual watercolor and gouache pieces, this is done in Art Rage and Photoshop. It did begin as an on location gouache sketch but I ended up messing around with it digitally.
