"Ranchitos Relic"



I absolutely love this old truck.  Even in retirement it still impresses anyone cruising down Upper Ranchitos Road, sitting in the middle of a field with it's beautiful new turquoise paint job, and all summer long with the bed of the old truck used as a garden overflowing with flowers.  I'll paint it again this summer when it's in "full bloom".

"Aurora's Apple Tree"



This painting was painted outside on location in my backyard one day.  It's the only fruit tree in my yard that didn't lose it's blossoms to a May snowstorm.  Aurora is my neighbor, an elderly woman, and this tree is actually on her property....hence the title.
