"Mabel's Gate"



I've been landscaping this summer and one of the places I work at is the Mabel Dodge Luhan house.
There will be many more paintings to come in the future of this most amazing property but for starters I painted the old gate at the back entrance near the pueblo.

12" x 16" original oil painting  $425.00

"Window Reflections"






I've been painting in and around the John Dunn Shops this summer on Saturday mornings which has been a real treat.  This is a little plaza area across the street near the entrance of the Gov. Bent Museum. 

9" x 12"  original oil painting  $250.00

"Winter Reds" SOLD






I wanted to share this painting with you (again) - I had posted it a while back when it was just a "study".  Well I ended up painting a bigger version and it recently sold.  It was part of a plein aire show that was hanging at the Trading Post Cafe this summer. 

"Early Snow - Arroyo Seco"






I know it's not really fall here yet (and hopefully snow is many months away) but it's always refreshing to paint a change of seasons.  This is what it looks like when we do get an early snow and the cottonwood trees are still bright yellow.

14" x 18" original oil painting  $550.00

"Abiquiu Hills"






I started this painting on location but wasn't able to finish because the beautiful blue sky summer day turned into a pretty violent thunderstorm that wasn't going to go away any time soon.  So I had to pack it up - but I'm happy with what I captured - there's a "lotta color in them there hills" as they say!

11" x 14" original oil painting   $300.00

"San Cristobal Valley"






I painted this painting from a photograph I took while out driving around one day (trying to get lost actually).  Never got lost but came across this little village, San Cristobal.  I was attracted to the run-down old barn right next to this beautiful old church.
