Ghost Ranch - Oil on Muslin - 7.25" x 14"

Went out recently to Ghost Ranch which is Georgia O'Keeffe country.  What an inspiration!  The land, cliffs, mountains and sky are amazing to behold and I worked hard at trying to capture it all in a few hours.  Here was the result.

Pendaries 2 - Oil on Muslin - 5.75" x 11"

This is an area I love to paint.  It is getting too cold now to go up there and the leaves have already turned.

Desert Farming Fields - 10" x 13" - Oil on Muslin


I am finally getting my photo taking set-up worked out and should be posting more work.  The light is different in Santa Fe and the winds are gusty.

Sunset Cliffs Study - Oil on Panel - 9" x 12"



Sunset Cliffs is located in Ocean Beach, a great beach community with lots of surfers and many, many characters.
It had been raining for 5 days straight so after the rain stopped, I decided to go out and get some fresh air!  This little
painting was done on site.  The waves were spectacular that day.

San Ysabel Northern Preserve - oil on canvas board - 9" x 12"




This painting was done for a paint out competition in Julian and areas nearby.  San Ysabel is just Northwest of Julian and a lovely area to paint.  The hills appeared golden that day.  The painting was one of those easy to do ones you know the kind that paints itself. Anyway, it was juried into the show!

Turquoise Door - oil on panel - 9" x 12"

I was recently in Tubac, Arizona doing a plein air demonstration. Tubac is filled with old adobe houses like this one. The turquoise door was what attracted me to this scene and the fact that there was a shade tree across the street. It was about 104 that day.
