Burning Bush Acrylic 12 x 16


This is one of two paintings that are my show pieces for the 2007-2008 Nomadas Del Arte Plein Air art show held during the month of March 2008 at the Sage Creek gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The work had to be completed some time in 2007 to be eligible for entry. I did this painting on location at the Red Rocks Amphitheater just outside of Denver Colorado. The sunny warm fall Colorado day filled the landscape with wonderful light and made the landscape just glow with spectacular light and color. It was a complete joy to be painting that day.

Strength Acrylic 14 x 11


I have been invited to participate in this show benefiting Project education Sudan.
The focus of this organization is on building community, self-sufficiency and hope for the people of Sudan by supporting indigenous Sudanese organizations that model our values and make primary and secondary education available for all. The Project creates hope in Sudan by reuniting families separated by years of civil war.
I selected an image from pictures provided by the organization that touched my heart. The image is of a Sudan mother. I was struck by the her beauty and strength in her gaze. I hope my painting conveys her essence.

Make Way Acrylic 7 x 5


This is another composition from a trip to Portland, Oregon. I had a wonderful time in the city and it inspired many of my recent paintings. Portland is the only other city that I think I could live in other than Denver. The city and its red trees were spectacular to say the least!
