"Evening on Five Island" Acrylic Landscape by

Arizona Artist Mary Opat

30" x 24" Acrylic on Board

This painting was fun to do. The fast drying acrylic paint allows

a great deal of layering. Look for more paintings from me in this style!

This painting is sold.

"Arizona Sunset" Desert Landscape Oil Painting by

Arizona Artist Mary Opat

18" x 14" Oil on Stretched Linen

I finished this one today. I started it a few months ago and got

stuck on how to make the foreground and tree look more natural. The

trick was to pick up some very dark paint and then scrub it in with the side

of my brush. A little lighter green scrubbed in here and there over the front

bushes seemed to do it. Who knew ? Maybe I'll take on more landscapes!

"30 in 30 Day Challenge Day 22" Mural Idea

24" x 12" Oil on Masonite Panel

This is a composite of three reference photos for possible future public mural

in Gilbert. I worked on it today, making some changes to the sky and water reflections.

It's not a finished painting, and the actual mural would have a couple of

major changes. It was a fun piece to do though.

Make someone smile today!
