For a long time I avoided paintings New Mexico sunrises or sunsets because I thought people elsewhere would think I was making them up. But, having a sunrise or sunset with every color of the rainbow is not unusual. This one is for real!

Piedra Lisa Winter 6X9in. SOLD

Driving east on Tramway Road is my favorite way to come home. Often the highest parts of the Sandia mountains dominate the view, but every once in a while, the best scene is looking north towards Piedra Lisa trail This day it looked like winter was in the background and spring was in front.

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.
