The top two paintings were painted on location at San Xavier Mission in Tucson and the Asarco Mine Center in Sahuarita.  Both mornings started out very cold (30's) but warmed quickly and I was quickly painting in shirt sleeves.  You have to love the Arizona winter weather. 

The third piece is not a piece painted on location but an experiment on very tiny paintings.  A painting friend was putting  a show of mini's together and I watched as she painted 3 paintings as I started one.  I thought I would try it and use her method of framing.  I think it was a success.  Small and affordable art for all!
