Flight of the Family Farm

24"x34", Original Watercolor, Framed

I painted this in response to watching my neighbors in Northern New Mexico over the past few years sell first their livestock, then their trailers and much loved old trucks, it looked like the "flight of the family farm".

To Town with a Joyful Heart

20"x24", Original Watercolor, Framed

This painting is pure whimsy and fun. The foothills of my backyard, the hollyhocks from my garden, a friend's old truck, and the ever hopeful artist off to town with his latest work.

Price: $500.00

All a Cowboy Needs

21"x36", Original Watercolor, Framed

I have always loved the door on the ruin of the old Costilla Food Store. This one turned out to be a tribute to all a cowboy needs, his smokes, and his girl.

Costilla Ruin

20"x24", Original Watercolor, Framed in Barnwood

This is an adobe ruin near my house, and the old kitchen captured my heart. One day past, the rose wallpaper was put up with love, the built-in cupboard was built with pride, and it was the center of the family.

Old Blue Truck, Taos Spring

Here is a friend's great old truck, set amidst my Spring iris bed. If you look closely you will see two mag-pies playing on the burn barrels in the background.

Hollyhocks from the Garden

20"x24" Original Watercolor, Framed

This past summer the hollyhocks in my yard were just gorgeous. I made indoor arrangements in a beautiful cobalt blue glass bowl, and one day a hummingbird flew right in, just had to become a painting!

Living Life on the Edge? Relax!

8"x10" Original Watercolor, Framed

Sometimes life can get a little tense, and I did this one just remind us all sit back and enjoy the view, life is too short.

Afternoon Pie & Brew

14"x18", Unframed

This is a fun little pizza joint up in the Taos Ski Valley. A good day to relax, warm up, and recharge.

Taos Mesa Short-Cut

11.5"x17", Unframed

I just snapped this original with my camera, so Giclees are not available. It's a fun painting of a very harrowing lane and a half dirt road short-cut from Taos out to the Mesa. One night full moon I drove from to the top down to the river with no head-lights! Ah, the things you do for fun out in the country!

Geraniums in a Basket

14"x18" Original Watercolor, Framed

This was a quick watercolor sketch. The basket was handwoven by a good friend, the geraniums have been living in this concrete pot from Quito, Ecuador since I moved to New Mexico. This is an example of the beautiful wood frames that I frame all of my art in.
