"Sage and Snow" SOLD

I painted this painting from my front yard one day after getting eight inches of snow overnight.  It's of my neighbor's house across the street.  What's funny though is that the sun was out and by the time I got half-way through the painting I was out there in nothing but a t-shirt!

"The Space Between" SOLD

I painted this from a photograph I took while in Arroy Seco one snowy morning.  I was attracted to the "slushy" little pathway (that actually takes you back to the Seco Church) but also the feeling of the cool snow but warm adobe wall.

"Fall in Rinconada' SOLD

This year the fall colors were amazing...the Taos Plein Air Painters were invited to paint just south of Taos in Rinconada at fellow painter Marilyn's house.  It was pretty darn cold that morning and not many painters showed up but I'm glad I went.

"Three Red Roofs" (Arroyo Seco Church)

This old church is so much fun to paint..this time I chose a different angle and painted the side yard.  I loved how the light was hitting on the buttresses, how the red just "popped" and all the beautiful little patches of bright yellow yarrows.

"Aspens Aglow" SOLD

The Taos Plein Air Painters were invited to paint on a property in Valle Escondito this fall.  I did two paintings that day...first a small pond (not finished) and then this amazing meadow.

"Ranchos Church with Hollyhocks" SOLD

I decided to paint "close to home" on this particular day..wasn't planning on choosing this angle of the church - the south wall - but I couldn't resist the late blooming hollyhocks.

"Fall Line Up"

The Cottonwood trees were so vibrant this year!  This scene is from the field across from the El Prado post office looking toward the pueblo.

"Highlights of Winter"

Winter has already arrived and although I'm not a big fan I have to admit that I really enjoy painting the snow.  This was actually painted from a photograph, the scene is from a pull-off along the road to the ski valley.

"Gorge" small study

It's always fun to paint "The Gorge", as well as a challenge because of the way the light changes so fast...it's also hard to capture such a huge landscape on such a small canvas.  Will use this study to paint this scene LARGER!

"Gateway to Taos" SOLD

Since the view is so expansive I painted this again but in a "panoramic" format.
