54th WAOW National Exhibition, "Dreamweavers"

AMY EVANS A CAPITOL AFTERNOON

JUDY FAIRLEY SADDLE UP

18” x 24” — Oil $2,500

Capitol Afternoon was inspired by my painting trip to Maynard Dixon Country in Utah. I loved the red rocks and the soft desert vegetation of the Capitol Reef National Park. The softness and quiet that was a part of this scene was something that I had to capture in paint. and used my plein air references for this painting.

10” x 8” — Scratchboard $950

I was raised on a horse and cattle ranch and this was always a morning and night scene. I loved doing these textures in scratchboard.
