New Mexico Sunset

I've decided to paint a bunch of sunsets. This first one I painted at sunset at the lake in Abiquiu. Since this one was done en plein air, I had to work really fast to get the colors before the whole thing changed.

Spilling the Beans

This is a collage using an old wallpaper, the little ellipses made me think of seeds, one of my favorite things.

More Beans to Come

About five years ago I did a series of mixed media beans that were alot of fun.  Recently I've decided to experiment with acrylics and so I'm doing these little bean studies.  So far, it's bean fun. 

Beginning of Orchid Week

I've been painting orchids lately.  I noticed that when I doodle, I usually make dots.  So I decided to paint orchids which have these wonderful marks on them.  What does that mean?  More specifically, what do I really mean?  It will come to me eventually.

You turn away from me

When I finished the painting of the St. Francis of Assisi church in Taos, I turned to the left and saw this beautiful sunflower facing away from me.  The sun was shining through the petals causing them to practically glow.  

Oh clouds!

I've been under the weather with a cold for the last two weeks, thus the derth of now entries.  This is a watercolor of the view outside my west studio window in Santa Fe.  I'll be out in Taos all next week with a group of plein air painters.  I plan to post my work daily from Taos.
