"Hanging Out"

This painting is still on the easel - it's obviously not finished but I'm posting it anyway.   I'm anxious to share what I've been up to.  I've been studying with Rich for about a month now and have noticed a big change in how I paint and have gotten great feed-back from other painters....I'm excited to hear what you think!

"Snow Melt"

Here it is spring time and I find myself painting snow!  It's just that I've been wanting to paint water!!

"Spring Thaw"

I guess I've been on a water and rock kind of a kick lately.  This painting will be framed real soon and will be in the gallery here or in Denver.  I've been painting with a palette knife lately and it really works great for getting some texture.

"Taos Moonrise"

I painted this one from a photograph one night in my class.  Had never done a nocturne painting before but I think it turned out alright.

"Dancing Girl"

Every once in a while I'll stray away from a landscape or a still life and try something different.  Found this photo in the studio and gave it a shot. 

"Tea Cup with Forsythia"

Did this little still life in my Wednesday night class.  It's going to be getting framed and be in the gallery here or maybe Denver. 

"Golden Pasture"

This pasture scene is from Karen's house where I used to horse-sit..so beautiful in the fall with all of the flowers!  This painting is framed and in Denver right now.

"First Snow"

Started this painting late in the afternoon sometime in October from my front porch and finished it one night at my class - it's framed and hanging in the gallery now

"Behind Ledoux"

This beautiful little scene is on a very narrow dirt road that runs behind Ledoux Street in Taos, which is where the gallery is located.
