"Hummingbird"

Oil on canvas panel, 5"x7". Not for sale.

“Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy, and celebration. The hummingbird’s delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life’s sweetest creation.”
This quote is from a slip of paper inside a Papyrus greeting card.

"Jacqui's Bird"

Oil on canvas panel, 6"x6". Not for sale.

My friend Jacqui asked me to paint her a little bird, and this was so much fun to paint. The whole time I was thinking about what she would like it to look like, and it turned out pretty well. There will be more birds to come.

"San Miguel Mission"

Oil on canvas panel, 6"x8". $25.00 + 7.00 S/H

This is one of the oldest churches in the country located in Santa Fe NM. I tried to capture it's character in this painting, there were really now straight lines, or square corners. Everything was old and rounded, and very thick.

"Bridge on The River Walk"

Oil on canvas panel, 8"x10". $40.00 + 7.00 S/H

This was an interesting subject. I had a little trouble with the perspective of the sidewalk that I was standing on, but I think in the end it worked out okay. The darkest color's used were a dark gray and Ultramarine blue, which is unusual for me, I almost always use van dyke brown. So my dark areas weren't as dark as they usually are. The tugboat down the river is fun, and I think this is the most success I've had in painting water.

"View From the Top"

Oil on canvas panel, 5"x7". $60.00 + 7.00 S/H

I really could have named this several different things, "Scared to Death" or "Frozen Stiff". This is me on the famous double black diamond Liberty Bowl at beautiful Big Sky Montana. In our first year of marriage, DJ convinced me that it would be a good idea to take Lone Peak Tram to the tip top of the mountain and ski down. I almost got back into the tram! But alas, I made it down the hill in one piece! And it's a memory that I will never ever forget.

"Canyon Lake"

Oil on canvas panel, 8"x10". Sold

I love Arizona's lakes because of the dramatic canyon walls next to the brilliant blue water. This painting turned out very geometric. The foreground gave me a little trouble, trying to stay in the same style, and put enough detail into it.
