"Elephant Rock," oil, 24" x 36" is a painting of a butte in Sedona that I painted some time ago. I decided to make some changes/improvements on it recently. I decided to change the sky, adjust the foreground values/hues a tad and ad a yellow glaze in the sunlight areas. Below is the painting the way it looked originally. Last, I changed the title of the painting from the mistitled "Mammoth Rock to "Elephant Rock". I think the changes were an improvement, heightening the drama. Well, maybe not with the title.
"Elephant Rock" is one of my paintings that will be available for purchase August 15-19 at the 2019 Albuquerque Art Showcase, New Mexico's Fine Art Expo. The event begins with the Gala Preview August 15, drew which show opens too the public August 16 - 19 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. More than 125 artists will have works in the show. Stop by the booth featuring the banner with my name, where I will have framed and unframed oil paintings - including some award winning - for sale. I look forward to seeing you there!
