This is a picture of a "suggestion" of the chateau Chenonceau in Amboise, France, that we visited in October of this year.

This is a picture of our model the last Friday before Thanksgiving at the New Mexico Art League live model session. Her name is Juliette, and I decided to focus on the drapery and the unique pattern of her dress. She said she had gotten it in a thrift shop in Oregon!

This is a portrait of a native American model we sketched at the New Mexico Art League last Friday. It was a three hour pose. I thought she had a beautiful, interesting face. Colored pencil on paper.

This painting is called: "Vortex, # 1, September, 2019. It is quite a bit smaller than the prior work, and comes in at about 21" x 31".

This painting is called: "August 29, 2019". Made during "painting breaks" while trying to process old  house paint for disposal. It is 52 inches by 40 inches on canvas and takes up most of the floor space in my studio.

This painting is from 2015 (oil on canvas) and is entitled: "L'artiste". She is looking out from behind something. Can you guess what it is from the title of the painting?

This is an oil painting on paper done at the Albuquerque, New Mexico studio this last season out there. It is called: "Anguished Mother". I let the viewer decide on how to interpret this picture.

The following is a series of sketches called: "Beach House in the Woods" done near Sag Harbor, Long Island, NY in August of 2019

I thought I would present a series of nine paintings that are all of the "desert landscape" theme, and were inspired by life in New Mexico. They were all painted in March/April of 2017 (two years ago as of this writing.) The title of this one is simply: "Landscape # 3,  2017." I have not attempted here to arrange the paintings in chronological order since that has no particular bearing on the series.

This painting is clearly related to the first one, and is, in fact, "Landscape # 1, April, 2017." As you will soon see, some of the series have purple borders painted on them. The two paintings directly above and below have such borders, but in the photographing, did not turn out well, so they were cropped out. You will have to see the originals to view the purple borders on these paintings!

The painting directly above is simply known as "Landscape # 4, March, 2017."

Here you are able to see the purple border. Again, not perfectly photographed since art photography is not necessarily my strong suit. But you get the idea. This painting is: "Landscape # 1, March, 2017, so in all likelihood, it is, indeed the first painting I did in the series. 

Landscape # 2, March, 2017".

"Landscape # 2,  April, 2017".

"Mountain Range # 1, March 2017"

"Landscape # 3, March, 2017"

This painting also has a purple border

"Landscape # 5, March, 2017"

Presenting the "House in the Hills" series. So far, there are four (or rather three) paintings. The first one was modified architecturally, so second one is the same painting, only with slightly different building(s).

These are all basically acrylic paintings on paper. You can see the differences made in the updating of this painting below, "House in the Hills, 2. Mostly in the roof lines. However, at least one greeting card was made from version one, above.

The third painting in the series is on a smaller piece of paper, but this was not a problem:

It is almost my favorite in the series, and here I began to introduce sand as an element in the construction of the painting (the road.)

This is the last in the series, (so far), and I tried to introduce a wider variety of colors and once again, sand on the road: This is "House in the Hills # 4)
