75 of 100 Landscapes 2020 | Paintings for sale

My current count is at 75 paintings - I was maintaining my stride through July, but the project has had to take a back seat to a number of other priorities since then. My goal is still to reach 100, but I’ve decided to grant myself a little more flexibility with the self-imposed January 1st deadline.

The real joy has been getting out and spending time in this amazing landscape (occasionally, I’ll even return home with a painting I’m feeling proud of). So… for now, I’ve decided to sift through the 75 and just showcase my unsold favorites > see them here

Half way there

I’m halfway through my 100 Landscapes project - basically, something I’ve been doing on the side… an excuse to spend time meditating on this awe inspiring Land of Enchantment. I was hoping that I’d be able to do a number of studies from France this summer as well, but I guess the global pandemic had other plans. For now, I’ll keep chipping away at these quick sketches and savoring the fresh high desert air. I’m not sure if, or how, the project will evolve over the next months (I’m definitely feeling an urge to work bigger and to take some of the landscapes further). Regardless, I’ll continue to updated my progress.

(For those of you who have already bought a piece, I should be getting some aluminum panels so I can mount the paintings soon - thanks for your patience with me!)

A (Small) 2020 Project

As a small side project for 2020, I thought I’d challenge myself by making a commitment to doing 100 landscape painting sketches. Painting outdoors has become a favorite part of my overall painting practice over the past year, and I’ve noticed that its slightly more visceral and spontaneous requirements have positively affected other aspects of my creative experience.

As further incentive, I thought I’d make the studies available to purchase here on my website. I’d like to keep the paintings as consistent as possible (oil on linen, mounted on panel, 5”x7”ish, $250 ($2020 seemed a bit much) + tax & shipping).

Another thought I had was that a painting could be bought in advance (I’ll be numbering each of the 100 paintings, so for instance, some adventurous spirit might want to call dibs on #47 prior to my painting it. I’ve seen this done before on other blogs/websites… and I really like the idea).

It will be fun to see what happens… I should get to work.

Happy New Year!
