Sandia Fall 6X9in. SOLD



This late day light shone on the Sandia's in my neighborhood last Fall. Earlier that day, I had driven up to Taos and back, but this was the best scene of the day!

Final Glow 6X9in. SOLD



This is one of my favorite scenes in the Sandia mountains. The sun is going down, the clouds block out much of the late day sunshine on the ridge, but one patch of the beautiful glow is left. It is a magic moment!

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.
