Winter Storm-Chimayo

In 1985 a few days after Christmas, I sat in a lawn chair on a BLM floodplain and painted this storm rolling in over the mountains. Tomorrow I leave the Pacific coast and drive east to go to the 'West'. I expect to see similar landscapes in Wyoming. watercolor on paper 11"x14"

Over the Sea 23

A Daily painting. I bought some acrylic inks to experiment with in Wyoming and I tried them out here. The saturation is much different than paint and exactly what I hoped for. I want to be able to cover large areas quickly. watermedia on paper 8.5"x5" Available Work

Starlight and Snow

I wish I knew what I was doing with the new blogger format but I don`t have the concentration now to figure it out. Is this confusing anyone else? I`m leaving soon for my artist in residency at the Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming. Because I`ll be away for three weeks, the preparations are numerous. I am painting, but just small 'daily' stuff and 'fixing' failures from the past. David Page Coffin has introduced me to the possibilities of Pinterest and I fear losing myself in a sea of astounding art. Seriously, if one is looking for inspiration, education, or insight, it can be found. It took me a while to find 'boards' of interest, but once I did it was like swimming in beauty. watermedia on paper 8"x5.5" Available Work

Across the Refuge 2

This was a demonstration painting I began for a class yesterday. It was a new group I was working with so my intention was to show the combination of watercolor and acrylic techniques I use. My personal project was to see if I could create a lively neutral space in support of the sunlit areas in the distance. watermedia on Yupo 23"x16" Available Work
