Steven and Pam Peterson's Paintings

Evan's son and daughter-in-law sent their paintings via email a couple days ago. Aunt Pam's comments are below each painting. (Thanks, Aunt Pam and Uncle Steve!)

The Black Forest - Germany This is the 1st Painting that Steve and I received from Evan.

Utah house?

Utah house? One of my Favorites.

Utah house?

Arizona house?

Quite some time ago Evan asked his children what he could paint for them. Steve requested Death Dealer by Frank Frazetta WOW! Steve had put together a puzzle of Death Dealer in his younger days and shellacked it, we are lucky enough to still have it!

Compilation - Amish in Winter Evan sent us a list of paintings and told us to pick one, we were living in Michigan at the time, so lots of snow & Amish seemed like the right painting for us. Mark P. apparently had viewed this painting already and was more than ready to "trade things" to gain possession of this painting. (It is beautiful, isn't it? ECC)

We think this is Redondo Beach in California, I have asked Gail about it before and can't remember what beach she said it was.

This small painting is only 4" x 9", is dated 1934 and it looks like Arizona to us.

Mary Clyde's Arizona paintings

Here's another Arizona landmark, the Hayden Flour Mill. It's unfinished (you can see Evan never signed it) but still, a good one!

This is a copy of a favorite painting that Evan did; it's of the Mesa, Arizona temple. Mary thinks it might have been done in pastel. I know it's post 2000, but I'm not sure of the exact date

This is one of the earliest preserved oil paintings of Evan's, painted in 1936. The earliest was painted in 1934 in Steven's collection. I like to think it's of Camelback Mountain here in Phoenix, but I'm not sure.

Aunt Carol's Paintings

Carol Decker, Evan's oldest daughter, let me take pictures when I was at her house a bit ago. She's got some beautiful ones!

This is a painting of the house that Evan and his brothers grew up in. It's in Phoenix; I believe it's still standing.

This one is familiar to Arizonans. It's the Rosson House in Heritage Square; it's in the heart of downtown Phoenix.

Aunt Carol wasn't sure where this one was from, but the style of the house makes me wonder if it's not another Scipio painting. Perhaps?

I remember growing up seeing this painting, but I don't know anything about it. Rays?

And, yeah, I could try to crop these, or I could get the lighting better, or I could find a good photographer. (I'm a little shy now that I know Mary is seeing these :) !)

But, if I try to get all fancy, I'll never get stuff up...

Thanks for the pictures, Aunt Carol!
