Pagosa Sunset 6 X 9in. $165 framed

This image was from a trip to Pagosa Springs, Colorado from several years ago. Both the sky and the water are blended pastel (which feels like finger painting for grownups)!

There is a beautiful, new commuter train that goes between Albuquerque to Santa Fe. Between the two cities, there are a series of pueblos with wide open spaces. This image is looking east from the train as the sun sunk low in the west.

Albuquerque Sunset 9X6in. SOLD

Few people would believe it, but most days end in Albuquerque with a spectacular sunset. This is yet another one!

Canyon Mist 6X9in. SOLD

Only last week I spent a couple very cold days at the Grand Canyon. I created this little painting as a study for a larger version I hope to create. It posed many challenges...creating brightness on a dreary day, mist rising from the canyon, and parts of the rocky cliff that were obscured by a wall in my photo. I tackled all the problems and can't wait to start the larger version!!

Dinner Drama 6X9 in. $165 framed

It's great that I get to live at the base of the Sandia mountains, but it's even better that from my kitchen, I can watch the mountain light change throughout the day. When I was cooking dinner a couple weeks ago, the clouds lit up like this right outside my window.

Spot of Sun 6X9in. SOLD

This painting shows part of the Rio Grande gorge near Taos. It had been a rainy night, followed by a cloudy, dreary day, but just as I looked, the sun broke through and lit up this one small patch of land.

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.
