Blog

It has been a while since I wrote a blog, and this is just my second! I have been busy painting en plein air whenever I get the chance. During March and April, there has been quite a lot of rain on the weekends, so I have been concentrating on small studio works, mostly animals. I have kind of gone back to my roots. Although I enjoy painting four-legged creatures and flowers, they are not nearly as challenging as painting outdoors, working quickly as the sun moves and changes everything!

This month, I have been painting with Frank Serrano. He and I have spent 8 hour days painting in Eaton Canyon and at the beach. He is a master painter, and every time we go out, I learn something new. The painting I have posted here was done on my own close to home. The cactus caught my eye.

In a few weeks, I will be heading back to New Mexico to paint with the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico in the annual paint-out. This year it will be in Ruidoso. I can't wait!

By the way, prints and notecards of my work are now available at Fine Art America. Click on the link below for purchasing information:
