Abbey

This portrait of my sweet canine companion happened just after I returned from Europe last summer and took her up to the forest for a romp. Her happiness is evident. An easy portrait.

A new self portrait

Here is a new SP. One of about 40 so far. Let’s hope we can add a few dozen more. I’m looking forward to an amazing 2024! Blessings.

Near Fort Stanton

It was a chilly windy day, but the New Mexico vista was filled up with infinity and wanting to spill out, and so it did.

Cloudcroft tower

Hello all. A recent effort of a tower on a recently renovated 1923 resort hotel in 9000 foot high Cloudcroft, New Mexico. The beautiful copper clad roof was catching the morning light in a kind of surreal way. Acrylic on canvas panel. 8″X10″ More to come as I make my way back here.

Inside old Avignon

After Paris, I came down to Avignon in Provence, to see a college buddy’s presentation at the huge theatre arts festival. The town is crawling with arts types and all the hype that goes with it. A bit of a sensory overload. The city is ancient and magical. My morning walk through a quiet series of narrow streets was unforgettable. Just me and the 14th century gargoyles and saints. More to come!

Paris vibes

After getting sidetracked when COVID hit, I finally got over to Europe to visit friends and see art and architecture.

Stunning, amazing, diverse, over the top with tourists as well. I am hiding out on the top floor of a somewhat funky old hotel, the view of the tower not too far off. A few pics, more to come. Au revoir!

June so far

Where do I begin?

The way that I relate to the world is changing. Life can be so unpredictable and exciting!

This painting I did of a gathering storm cloud over Show Low. Let’s hope it won’t be long before Tucson gets its Monsoon Rainstorm On!

May notes

As I travel the state we currently call Arizona, its beauty keeps unfolding in more complex ways. I like to go where Man is a seldom guest. Passing beside Lake Roosevelt, my spirit soared when I saw all the water coming off the mountains! It was surreal. So much had come in that lower areas were flooded. Trees were partially submerged. Desert like islands appeared with cactus on them. Up at higher elevations, the melting snow fields made divine graffiti! Images of the lake to come.
