"Count your Blessing" won an award at the last Encantada Show. Memories of my childhood and my father's orchard -
looking up into these trees as a child, seeing the bounty, smelling the harvest, glistening sun on the shining apple's skin - times of life carefree and promises abound. #applepainting

"The blue Door" (6x8) is a recent painting that I did during a workshop with Qiang Huang. Ever grateful for the experience standing in this quaint courtyard in Santa Fe, painting alongside this master painter, who's work I very much admire.

"Dawn Fleeting" (8x10, oil) is part of a series of experimental paintings where I combine memories with reference. Happy to say that it just sold at @Corrales Bosque Gallery.

"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant." This spring's poppy seeds in my front yard. The morning sun bathed their creation in backlit light and the breeze made them sway ever so gently. I tried to capture their fleeting beauty and translucency. #flowerpainting

I am happy to announce that I will have a couple of paintings in the upcoming 37th Annual Juried Old Church Fine Arts Show and Sale at the San Ysidro Church in Corrales. 25% of the proceeds will go to the preservation of the historic church building.

I started this one on location in the Bosque close by Tingley Beach in Albuquerque, and then finished it in the Studio. It was late in the afternoon, the sun was low and everything had a slightly golden shimmer.
"Of late Afternoons", Oil on linen panel, 8 x 8

These three little paintings - all somewhere in and around Albuquerque, found their forever homes recently. They are all started on location, finished in the studio.

This one is another experimental painting within my eternal love affair with poppies, and the quest for looseness and expression. Available at the Corrales Bosque Gallery.

"Shine Bright" - the side light here sure makes it shine bright, lol. This one is going to be exhibited amongst other paintings of mine at the upcoming Corrales Studio Tour, May 3-4, in the Bosque Gallery in Corrales. Come by and check it out if you are in the area.

With this one, I was trying to capture the light of a sunny day as well as the happiness that I feel, when I look up into a tree bountiful with juicy apples. "Count your Blessings", oil, 9x12

“To live on a day-to-day basis is insufficient for human beings; we need to transcend, transport, escape; we need meaning, understanding, and explanation...” (Oliver Sacks)
That's one reason why I paint:

In "Shine Bright" I was trying to achieve the feeling of being right in a bright shiny aspen forest in fall.
It will be part of a show by the RGAA at the Weems Gallery in Albuquerque, coming up in March.
