My journey into painting began in the most unexpected way

My story is this. I’m often asked how I started painting. I wanted to discover if I had any artistic talent, so in 1990, at age 45, I enrolled in an adult evening art class at a local N.J. high school. I first chose to work with watercolor, thinking it would be the easiest medium. I mean, how hard can it be? Just mix some pigment with water, right? However, I soon discovered it was the most challenging medium.

Coyote Lunar Serenade caught my attention last week while visiting Sedona and the Verde Valley. As a native Arizonan I could relate to the many themes represented in this painting, having grown up with them throughout my life. We have the perfect spot in our shop to place this print when we return back home. Thanks a bunch Clark!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I’m honored that Coyote’s Lunar Serenade spoke to you as a fellow Arizonan. It means the world to know that the themes of our Southwest landscapes feel like home to you. I can’t wait to see it in your shop—may it bring that same sense of wonder and magic each time you pass by. Thanks again for your support!

Dwight Argo

I've become so fond of Shep's artwork over the years that I presently have five of them adorning the walls of my home here in Sedona Arizona. Especially love his use of vibrant colors in his depictions of the American Southwest which fit the decor of my home extremely well.

Response from the owner:Dwight, Thank you so much for your excellent review! I'm honored that my vibrant depictions of the American Southwest have found a home in Sedona and that they resonate with your decor. Your support over the years truly inspires me to continue creating vivid, mystical landscapes that capture the spirit of our region. Thank you again for your kind words and for sharing your journey with my art!

Just Southwest Watercolors

Southwest vibrant and Dimensional Watercolors was the first medium I used, before oils and acrylics. Initially, my technique was to meticulously add bold black outlines and layer many colors. The result? Extraordinary and colorful watercolors radiating with vibrant energy, infusing each memorable piece with luminous allure.
