Daybreak in Zion, 18x24, original landscape oil painting by western Colorado artist Barbara Churchley

On an early morning outing to Angel’s Landing, I stopped on a bridge to photograph this scene. I really enjoyed painting it, as I have spent many wonderful hours in Zion National Park. This painting was juried as a top 100 painting in PaintAmerica’s “Paint the Parks 100”, and is now touring for a year to museums throughout the U.S. The tour began in October 2011 in St. Louis, MO.

Field Below Grand Mesa, a 10x8 original landscape oil painting by western Colorado artist, Barbara Churchley

I painted this scene “en plein air” in winter, and the air was quite brisk for the time I was there. The field I painted this in is next door to a house, and the next thing I know I am talking to the owners! They turn out to be art lovers, and bought this painting. As so often happens between art lovers, they are not only collectors, but they have become friends, too.

Apple Trees, an original 12x9 pastel by western Colorado landscape artist, Barbara Churchley

“Apple Trees” is a pastel that came from the joy of using the colorful pastel sticks that are available to artists today. I played with strokes and color, and was so pleased with the result, that I painted this scene with oils, as well.
