Cerrillos Hills State Park — SOLD

First Place winner in the 2012 Art in the Parks exhibition, this painting was done mostly on location southeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The exhibition of 59 paintings by 26 artists is sponsored by Plein Air Painters of New Mexico and runs through December 22 at the New Mexico Art League in Albuquerque.

Wildflower Study — SOLD

I used wildflowers from our backyard for this 11 x 14 study in oil. It is interesting to check in periodically during the course of the year to see how the patch of flowers is evolving. There is always something to appreciate, from an artistic standpoint. First there are the spring and early summer blooms, then other varieties pop up as the summer progresses. Now there are a lot of old, dead remains, but even these are interesting to look at.
