A Magical Night

16 x 12" oil on linen panel.

Camping under the stars with a full moon.  Totally magical.


Canyon de Chelly Sunset

36 x 60" oil on gallery wrap canvas.

I love the view from this overlook of Canyon de Chelly and sunset on a rainy day is the best!

Way Out West

20 x 60" oil on gallery wrap canvas.

Also known as Forrest Gump Point, this view of Monument Valley as you approach it from the north is epic.

"The Road to Monument Valley"

24 x 24" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a black floater frame

Monument Valley is one of my favorite places to visit in an Airstream.  There is something about the iconic skyline combined with the shiny vintage trailer that just goes together in my head.  When you approach the monuments from the north, you see them like this in the distance and it seems to take forever to actually reach them.  They just get bigger and bigger.

Not all Rocks in Utah are Red

24 x 24" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a black floater frame.

So much of the scenery in Utah is on a grand scale and beautiful.

"Little Trailer in a Big Landscape"

24 x 24" oil on canvas

Ray and I love finding beautiful, out of the way places to camp and Valley of the Gods, just north of Monument Valley is one of the very best places we have found.  You can camp close to the monuments and the views are truly 360 degrees.  Sunrises and sunsets are epic.

In this painting I wanted the trailer to seem dwarfed by the scenery, almost vulnerable.

"Mesa Sunset"

30 x 30" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a black floater frame

Here in the High Desert of New Mexico, we have the most glorious sunsets.

When I started this painting, I wanted the experience of painting something uplifting and expansive and it was.

a flash of something shiny in the desert

This gorgeous Spartanette trailer is part of a collection of vintage trailers that are available to rent by the night at the Hotel Luna Mystica here in Taos.  The trailers are gorgeous and the 360 degree views are phenomenal.

Sunset in a time of wildfires

Living in the high desert, there a wildfires most summers.  Some are scarily close and others are close enough that the smoke fills the skies and the sunsets are unusual colors.  This one was a beauty.

the tunnels of red canyon

12 x 12" oil on linen panel.

I had seen photos of these arches cut out of the rock in photos but was unclear as to where exactly they were.  Ray and I were driving from Capitol Reef NP to Bryce NP in Utah and came upon them unexpectedly.  I was so excited to just find them like that!


"Giant Flamingos at White Sands"


36 x 24 x 1.5" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a black floater frame.

White Sands is a magical place where everything looks sharp edged and surreal against the dazzling sand.  Add a New Mexico deep blue sky and it's like stepping into another world.

Elizabeth Jose is a British artist living in Taos, New Mexico.  She travels with her vintage Airstream to the big landscapes of the South West and beyond, capturing the gorgeous scenery reflecting on her mirror shined trailer.

At home in Taos, she paints from the model, landscapes, old trucks and still life.

 

I get such pleasure from beauty that I aim to share that pleasure with others through my paintings.
