Juniper Hill View 6x9in. SOLD
I was recently asked by a gallery owner if I would be interested in trading one of my small paintings for a set of pastels a 90 year old artist was ready to part with. How could I refuse? It turned out the set he gave me more than doubled what I already had and I think the honor of him choosing me, seeing my little painting hung next to well-known artists that I admire, and the feeling of encouragement I got, made for a very lopsided trade. I hope he is half as thrilled as I am. This little painting, "Juniper Hill Loop" is the first one I've made using some of the new pastels.

Mountain Climbing Clouds, Switzerland 6x9in. SOLD
These sunset clouds were moving rapidly up the side of the Eiger in Switzerland when I was there in September. This scene alone would have been amazing enough, but all around were beautiful green foothills and gingerbread houses with window boxes overflowing with flowers. That's a moment that is unlikely to escape my memory!
