February Sunshine

11x14 oil/linenThis piece painted at a location along the Mississippi, that i return to several times a year. It Always seems to offer something different each time. Nature is not redundant, in my opinion-tune in...and paint!

Fallen

11x14 oil on linenWe are not in New Mexico anymore! I just liked the contrast here of the fallen tree versus the background, light , shadow, and snow!-lets paint!

Organ Mountains-New Mexico

11x14 oil on linen SOLDThis one was painted near the end of my residency in New Mexico. The Organ Mountains are a spectacular view as you drive from White Sands towards Las Cruces.

White Sands Twilight

20x24 oil /linen SOLD This was the largest studio piece i did in New Mexico, based on a small study done just past sunset (o.k. it was actually getting dark) and some photo reference.Although the day was warm, the desert cools considerably as the sun fades behind the Sacremento Mountains.

Old Time Gathering

16x20 oil/linen SOLD Old trucks never cease to be subject matter for me, besides the interesting shapes and colors they offer, they always seem to fit into the natural landscape as well. This scene was taken from the largest collection of junkers (trucks, cars, buses etc) i have ever scene, and ol George there on highway #54 was very gracious about letting me paint there-enjoy

A glorious morning 12 x 16 SOLD You sure didnt see this one from the road, but after a bit of investigating, i found this open area in an arroyo, complete with cliffs, slate, and a little water falls- when the rains come, im told this whole area can fill up with water real fast-be careful!

Slice of Nature

14x18 oil on panelThis is a larger version of a study done on locatin. It just seemed to have all the elements of a scene: light, shadow, form, and color. Painting beside a running stream on a sun filled day in New Mexico isnt bad either
