7″x5″ pastel on sanded paper. I love the warm analogous colors of the blooms and soil. Perhaps where there are flowers there soon will be fruit!
Dirt Road 10am
20×16″ oil on linen panel
This road is the perfect road to run, or paint. Sometimes you just have to go…and see where it takes you.

Prickly Pear Para Llevar
Painting on the way to NM, thanks to my trusty Odyssey, and a delightfully overcast day.
Pair of Pears
I love pears, I love to eat them, and arrange them in bowls on my table. I love the way they seem to have hips and body shapes, no two just alike. I painted these because I know I won’t be buying any pears for a while. I will trade the sturdy lunch box fruit of the school year for the tender stone fruits of summer.
I love the changing of the seasons.
Here are my Best/ Least of summer-
Texas: homegrown tomatoes/ chiggers
New Mexico: desert sunsets/ tomatoes
Komorebi
Komorebi (Japanese): The sort of scattered, dappled light effect that happens when sunlight shines in through trees.
Show Me The Way Abuelo
Christ in the Desert Monastery is nestled at the back of this canyon. The desert truly sings in the surrounding silence.
Katharine and Clay
“Mom who is that?”
“My cousin Katharine.”
“The beautiful one?” My son asked.
“Yes.” I answered.
Inside and out beautiful pretty much sums her up.
From the photos my dad and Uncle took, her wedding was lovely too.
Ebbing Afternoon
10×8 pastel on sanded paper.
I created this painting as a commission from a couple of beach photos. The photos were at different times of day, it was fun playing with the possible compositions and colors (thumbnails really are helpful).
