Philip Alexander Carlton is a self-taught plein air painter who takes delight in the endless challenge of observational painting. Although his foray into outdoor painting began in the urban midwest, his artistic passion for scale and atmosphere left him painting extensively throughout the western United States before settling in Fruita, Colorado.

Philip has shown his work on both the east and west coast, received first place honors in multiple plein air competitions, and has been featured in Plein Air Magazine.

He currently spends his time painting the mountains of western Colorado and the desert rock of the Colorado plateau, including the Colorado National Monument, Canyonlands National Park, and the Grand Canyon.

Philip is a signature member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association.
