Instead of looking at my paintings, I thought you might appreciate seeing some other work from the 20th Annual Sedona Plein Air Festival. This is hardly complete; some painters hadn’t hung much work before I shot these photos.
What interests me in painting? Color, composition, and a unique viewpoint. This is a smattering without critical analysis, but I hope you enjoy it.
By the way, all of these paintings are available through Sedona Arts Center, 928.282.3809.

This is really good work! What interests me is that several of them resemble your painting. So I’m looking forward to your top three.
The colors in these are wonderful. I’m assuming they reflect the landscape!
Carol,
So fun to go along on your journey. How can you pick 3? If It helps, I’ll make my picks. The top one for sure. It takes you away with so much interest and depth. Your honorable mention (love the tree angles and dramatic light). My third would be the small one in the bottom middle. Immediately drawn to the sky. I don’t see the rock formation in front depicted as much as other mountains and love to stare at the layers.

Almost all! The vineyard painting cans home with me to go into my upcoming studio show, “Hidden in the Hills” 😉
