Southwest Holiday 6 x 9in $200 Framed

I have painted these church arches in Old Town Albuquerque several times and just love the way the sun streams into the breezeway. This time the arches are decorated for the holidays.

Red Door 6 x 9in. $165 Framed

I love the adobe buildings of New Mexico, but usually the doors and trim are painted blue. This building had a red door and trim which caught my attention and seemed to fit the holiday theme.

Highs Below Freezing 9" x 21" unframed $375

Here's a scenario I love...I'm in my kitchen cooking dinner, I look out my front windows and see the late day light, clouds and mountains combine to create another perfect scene for a painting. This happened last week and this is the painting I was itching to finish!

Catalina Cove 14 X 14in unframed size

What a treat to use blues and greens I rarely get to use. This scene of water and boats is unusual for me, but so much fun to paint. I spotted this scene on a trip to Catalina Island this summer.

Yucca in Winter 6 X 9in $165 framed

It seems like a contradiction to have palm-like plants growing where is snows, but these three yucca plants are just around the corner. I've been eyeing them for a painting for quite a while and finally got around to it!

Cliff Hanger 7.5in X 13in SOLD

This view is from my early morning drive along the south rim of the Grand Canyon. I contemplated this painting for months, trying to figure out whether the river or the lone rock should take center stage. A nice problem to have. The Grand Canyon is so rich in subjects!

Ordering 12X16 in. Unframed

For this painting, I broke my rule of not painting a place where I haven't stood. From a borrowed photo that I couldn't resist, came this painting of a cafe/market scene from Interlaken, Switzerland. I was in Switzerland 14 years ago and will be there again next week, so maybe the self-imposed rule is only partially broken. The brilliant yellow umbrellas just had to be painted though!
