Finishing Up Two Older Paintings

New Mexico Adobe Church with Swirly Clouds
6x8
Oil on Panel
This was painted some time ago - I was going for a fairly flat, graphic depiction of the church and I liked it but it needed something. The church and the sky seemed too flat so I added the surreal clouds swirly up from behind and I like the mystical effect they add.

Monument Valley - Utah
6x8
Oil on Panel
This small painting is another one that I did some time ago but just added the foreground bushes - it didn't look right without anything in front. Sometimes I have to live with them for awhile before I can figure out what they need.
