"Storm Passing"

This little painting is on my easel - just started today - it's the result of a "happy accident".
It was the starting of the next painting you'll see but I wasn't happy with the blue ground color for a fall painting.  So I ditched it and started another canvas...a friend saw this one and thought it would work as a winter scene - so I'm going for it - I'll post it again when it's done.

"A Change of Seasons"

When summer is winding down and fall is on the way there's about a week (maybe two) when the chamisa is in full bloom and just screaming to be painted - this old church is just north of Taos in Arroyo Seco.

"Valdito Summer"

This little painting came to me very quickly and was so much fun to do.  It's framed and hanging in the Student's show Rich is having at his studio/gallery.

"Drifted Snow"

More snow!!  I painted this one on the day before Thanksgiving in my class...somehow it reminded me of the song "Over the River and through the Woods to Grandmother's House we go!!

"Winter Wonderland"

I think it's supposed to snow here this weekend and I must be excited about that because I seem to be in the mood to paint snow.  I started this painting last fall and today decided to turn it into a winter wonderland.

"View from my Studio Window"

This painting was started last year but not finished.  Today I decided to add a little more snow and call it done.

"Wednesday Morning"

Titles are not always easy.  I painted this still life on a Wednesday morning in Rich's class, so there's where it comes from.  Anyway, this little piece is up for auction this coming Friday (11/9) for a radio station fundraiser in Alamosa, Colorado!!
