Sedona Cliffs 6X9in. SOLD

These cliffs were a trick to paint. There are so many variations in the rocks. I love the feeling of bulk and rich color in this small space.

South Sandias 6X9in. SOLD

About a month ago, I stood at this spot looking south as the sun sunk lower in the sky. The temperature was dropping in pace with the sun and it struck me the moment felt like the first moment of Fall.

Western Border 6X9in. SOLD

These rocky cliffs are the first noticeable change as you travel from Arizona into New Mexico on Interstate 40. I always feel like I have arrived home when this scene comes into view!

The Heavens 6X9in SOLD

I saw this scene from the top of Sandia Peak looking down into the valley a couple months ago. The clouds, rain, and sun were in constant flux, but with every change, I couldn't help thinking it looked like the heavens were opening up.

Trail to the Tram 6X9in. SOLD

I hike this trail a couple days a week because I can start from my front door and go continuously uphill for about half an hour. Because I am so familiar with this scene it's usually the first place I notice the subtle change of seaons. The chamisa lining the trail are just about to bust with yellow flowers this time of year.

NM Fall 6X9in. SOLD

Well, it's not quite fall here yet, but this photo from a couple years ago caught my eye as I was looking through my files. The attractive thing about fall in New Mexico is that the yellows are added to a palette of other beautiful colors that are already in the landscape.

Summer Bike Ride 6X9in. SOLD

I relish summer here because I can be on my mountain bike as the sun starts to shine on the Sandia foothills early on a warm morning. I especially tresure the feeling of crossing over the diffuse transitions between sun and shade.
