This painting, acrylic on paper, with found material, was done within the last couple of months to portray kind of a sense of leftover Fall with a big snow of Winter.

 This painting from several years ago is kind of an ode to the great German painter, Anselm Kiefer. He is one of my favorite artists. 

 From composers to wildlife. Perhaps a quantum leap in subject matter? The coyote and bobcat are both acrylic on panel. The coyote was completed some years ago, but the bobcat was done last year (2024).

 I was surprised not to find these two old boys already on my blog. Certainly, my favorite Russian composers.These will be my first additions to the blog in 2025

Do you know who they are? You may reply in the comment section.

 I recently went with the New Mexico Watercolor Society out to the foothills at Elena Gallegos and painting this impression of the scenery. It is more a reflection of the joy I felt being there than an actual replication of the beauty I experienced! A perfect day, with perfect weather!

These two drawings are from live model class. Our model, above, has gone numerous summers to work on fishing boats in Alaska. When she returns, one of things she does is model. I separated the head portrait from the basic body pose in the drawing below it.
 

 These are two recent watercolors of actual sites in New Mexico. The first above is an impression of the Organ Mountains down near Las Cruces, and the bottom one is an impression of a view from the sandstone cliffs at El Mal Pais out near Grants. Mount Taylor, one of the Navajo sacred mountains is in the distance.
