The Beginning 6X9in. SOLD

This image is from a hike to the higher points of Piedra Lisa trail in the Sandia Mountains. I was trying to capture the early morning light, but it was actually on the way back that this image of the day's beginning struck me.

La Luz Valley 6X9in. $165 framed

The La Luz trail is a Sandia Mountain route I try to hike at least once a year. A couple weeks ago, I was able to get an early start, so I was surrounded by my favorite scenery as the sun started reaching the upper valleys.

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!
