Utah


"Utah"

This one was done for Sarah, my daughter. It represents the scenery in Utah. Sarah and I took a road trip a couple years ago, and the ride through Utah reminded me of that trip with her.

Pen and watercolor.

Sierra Nevadas


"Sierra Nevadas"

This one was done for my mother. It is representing the train tracks that wound through the mountains.

Grand Junction

This one I did for my grandmother, who used to live in Grand Junction. This is the scenery and the western slope of the Rocky Mountains as seen from the train station in Grand Junction.

Nevada

"Nevada"



While away on vacation, I passed the time on the train by painting some postcards. I brought along a block of postcard sized watercolor paper, a travel size watercolor paint set complete with palette tray, additional paint brushes, watercolor pencils, waterproof markers, and some brush tip markers.

This one I call "Nevada". In the middle of the desert in Nevada, all that I could see was sand and sagebrush.
