We have so many of Evan's paintings. We have photographed all of those he signed. There are several at the Ivins home in St George UT that we will photograph when we are there for Thanksgiving. Also a few are in our daughters' homes. We will get thoses when we are in Utah next week. We have also been asked to photograph all that we have that are not signed and not finished. We are working on that part of the project. The first group are those that are not mounted and many that you may not remember. The last group are those many of you are familiar with.
THESE PAINTINGS ARE ALL LOOSE CANVASS PIECES. All are signed but need to be mounted and framed. Some of our favorites are included in this group.

Now, some paintings you are more familiar with:
Old LDS Church in Southern Utah. This was one of Nora's favorites. She loved the hollyhock in the foreground.
Evan asked me to name a place in Europe I loved. I requested a painting of the Black Forest in Germany. He presented me with a duo.
The second in the duo of Germany and the Black Forest.
Mark and Steven as young boys.
Arizona desert.
Graduation painting for Natalie, Picacho Peak we think.
Red Mountain from irrigation ditch at Val Vista. Evan and Gail liked to sit there in the sun; close to their Mesa home. Evan loved Red Mountain and its changing shades.
View of Mt Timpanogos from Evan's BYU office.
Evan asked us to choose a painting we loved for him to copy. Mark asked for this Caillebotte, Paris Street, Rainy Day, painting hanging in the Art Institute of Chicago. While we lived in Chicago for five years we frequented this wonderful museum of art.
This is a Utah valley ranch, somewhere north and west of Point of the Mountain. More info to follow.
Shooting trip w/dad and brothers, Evan loved this one. He is not in the painting as he was the photographer.
Arizona Superstition Mountain, always facinating to Evan.
East/West Berlin Orthodox Church. Evan gave a lecture in East Berlin on this trip.
Joe's Valley in Southcentral Utah.
"Smoky Brush" on the way to California across the Arizona desert.
Utah Farm house...that's all I know about it.
One of my favorites. The famous bridge south of Carmel on the California highway 101.
Down the old highway 89 in southern Utah. He loved that house.
Lehi Roller Mills, about 1980. He also loved this building. This is a study he did for a larger painting.
This is a pastel of a bridge he liked...not sure if it's AZ or UT.
This was a study he was doing of the Grand Canyon.
"Self Portrait" with enhanced eyebrows and a little hair. :)
Evan when he ran away from home and his mother found him out in the street with one shoe in hand. Probably 2 or 3 years old.
Early study of Superstition Mountain, AZ; one of Evan's favorite subjects. He loved the way the shadows constantly changed.
Here he was practicing the style of Van Gogh--it was a copy painting made for by request for Valerie Banditson and now currently resides in the Banditson home-Gary and Valerie, stepdaughter. (This is Mary's favorite!)
