Overlooking Lake Powell_11 x 14" Oil Landscape

© Donna Pierce-Clark

Page, Arizona is a beautiful place!
I have a nice stash of photos from our trip in 2008,

Funniest Story!
On our lake cruise, there was a cute little older gentleman from the UK,
who commented about my camera going non-stop (rapid fire!! click, click, click).
I didn't think too much of it, until the next day, we went on another trip
into the slot canyons of Page, Arizona.
We were making our way through the twists and turns
through this gorgeous area of light and shadows of oranges and rusts,
of red earth dust and tumble weeds,
and out of the blue,
I hear that little man, saying, in his darling English accent,

"What?
It's the camera lady!"
(he was so cute)

Next up, after this one, is a 2 x 3 Feet Oil,
on stretched canvas of:
Rainbow Bridge
(also near Page, Arizona).
I hope to have it for you to see
by next week.

      Sure is, Nancy, and with all I really need to get done in the studio this week (getting inventory all done); it might be longer than a week before I finish that one! Thanks so much for your kind comments!

Evening Waterfall, 5 x 5 pen and ink, landscape

Liquid Visions - 30 Paintings in 30 Days Alcohol Inks on Yupo January 31, 2014 Evening Waterfall © Donna Pierce-Clark ~ Evening Waterfall, because of the metallics used, was a bit difficult to photograph. The owner of this one will have a hard time deciding the best lighting  and where to hang it because in different angles, Evening Waterfall has varied and beautiful presentations! ~ The whole 30 in 30 all in one place........ VOTE!  Which one did you like the best?

Touch of Pink, 5 x 7 oil, still life

Touch of Pink © Donna Pierce-Clark ~ Stages of Touch of Pink ~ First the drawing.....    ~ Then, the initial paint-in, just shapes and colors. ~ Then highlights and sparkles and dots! ~ On to the large easel........ ~ ~ Above is my large studio easel, on which I have started a 24" x 36" canvas in oils. We traveled to Rainbow Bridge on a river cruise several years ago and this canvas was actually begun soon after that trip. I think this poor canvas has been neglected for at least 3 years!  I am so happy to be back to this painting.  Below, you can see a few later stages of development and the photo reference on the computer monitor, from which I paint.  Ideally, I would prefer to be painting on location;  but, I'm happy to use the computer monitor for now. ~ To the left of the easel, I also have a still life table. If I am doing a large still life, I'll use this set up and the larger easel. At this time, howev
