Welcome Spring!


 This 8" x 8" watercolor is of some of the lillies I had in my gardens, way back when, in Loveland Colorado. It seemed appropriate for welcoming the Vernal Equinox 2022.

Sometimes I miss the gardens, especially fresh produce just right outside and fresh cut flowers all over the house. But I wouldn't trade our RVing lifestyle for anything!

Quintessential New Mexico

 This little painting is for us - part of my New Mexico Land of Enchantment series. We spied this longhorn skull on a casa somewhere in the hills southeast of Taos. Folks here hang ristras wherever it works!




Lovin' Puffins!

 I painted this group of puffins for my granddaughter Rhia as a housewarming gift for her new home in Denver. When we visited Scotland, we spent a very long day boating to islands in the Sea of Hebrides. The Isle of Staffa is home to thousands of these fun birds, and they are so accustomed to humans that we could walk right up to them.



Scott's Slot

 I painted this for my son Scott's Birthday. His lively wife Belinda sent me photos of Scott hiking a slot canyon in southern Utah. 



Great Blue

 This one is part of our personal collection. A few years ago we visited Texas Hill Country, staying in State Parks that were at lakes. This magnificent Great Blue Heron was just offshore, not 10 yards from our trailer. The morning was misty and presented a diaphanous atmosphere.



For daughter-in-law Jenise

 This Orca Whale is from a Haida image spotted on a fence on Sitka Island Alaska. Jenise has quite a collection of whale art.
