I took a series of photographs will in Sedona a few years ago and this one was a favorite.  I caught the moon just as it was setting when we were heading back to the car lot as the sun was setting.  I like the contrast and how hot the rock face appears. 

Detail

This made for a great little study as there was a lot of light bouncing around off the canyon walls.  Values were running from hot reds to cool violets and cobalt blues. 

Pencil sketch

I couldn’t resist getting a little involved in the pencil sketch as I love to draw.  Usually, I keep it pretty loose and basic or don’t draw at all and just go into a paint sketching and under painting.

Studies in Oil by Maurice Morgan

Ok, here we go folks.  I just finished editing this thingy and posted it.  Hope you like it.  I am now off to my next lot of painting after a long hiatus.  Cheers.

Boat House

8x10"

Oil on Hardboard

I've been wanting to do this one for a while now.  This boat house is in Florida and the sun setting behind it just struck me.  I stayed really loose and just dabbed the colors into the piece.
