Placitas Exit 6X9in. SOLD

I've been passing this spot north of Albuquerque for a while. I knew that someday the arrangement of mountains and foothills would be lit just right. This rainy day, I waited for the sun to pop out from between the clouds and loved the streak of light through the center of the scene.

High Noon at the Arroyo 6X9in. SOLD

I saw this image a couple years ago while driving north and west of Albuquerque. Usually mid-day light is not very inspiring, but this scene had a lot going for it and I enjoyed trying to capture the stark light of noon.

Monsoon Morning 6X9in. SOLD

The summer before last was spectacular for monsoon rains. Usually the rains come in the afternoons, but that year it even rained in the morning. This image is an early morning shower over the Sandias.

Top of the Tram 6X9in. SOLD

The tram to the top of the Sandias is said to be the world's longest. I'm not sure if that means one of the spans is the longest or the whole length altogether. Either way, you a fantastic views on the ride up and also from the top. This view is looking southwest, over Bear Canyon Arroyo and into the distance.

Sunrise Colors 6X9in. SOLD

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!
