2000 ARCHIVES

Here, first of all, are some new skyscapes. These are views from our home in Taos, New Mexico.

 (You can visit our home on pages 54 through 57 of the October, 2001 issue of the Santa Fean Magazine) 

The mountain in the distance is Picuris (He paints). Part of our 140 year old adobe house is visible in one, including the horno, or beehive oven, in which we like to cook goat, elk, and turkey overnight for occasional parties. The fields below our house are rapidly being turned into the yards of new homes.  We're having a really dry year, but the clouds have been spectacular and seem to have been around longer than usual this season. I enjoy painting clouds, both in watercolor and in oil, and they are a great way for me to jump-start myself after a being away from the easel for a while, as when I'm working on this site.

The next two images, a Cow Kachina and an Eagle Kachina, both watercolor, along with the third, an oil Sio Calako, are the first results from my recent research trip to New York, Phoenix, San Diego, and Los Angeles. I went mainly to re-shoot my Kachina research with my new Canon S-10 Digital Camera, and to record the Kachinas in a private collection  in Phoenix dating back to the 1950s and early 1960s.

And this is UNDER THE INFLUENCE, a large oil on canvas still life, also available as a Fine Art Giclée Print.

OTHER NEW IMAGES (Posted July 29, 2000)

This is a group of small (4" x 5") mixed media on panel pieces that I did back in the mid 1970s. Thea just recently framed them and put them in the gallery. Three were sold before I could get them onto the site.

These two older pieces, studies I did for the painting Schreyer's Arab, are small, 8 x 10 inch oils on paper, and are part of my ongoing series of paintings of animals derived from Old Master Paintings

These oil on panel cloud studies were painted en plein-air while I was living in Guanajuato, Gto. Mexico, in 1973. My friend and neighbor, Joe Orr, and I spent many memorable afternoons painting the villages and skies surrounding Guanajuato.

This was a scene in the Guanajuato market, looking down from the balcony.

While in San Diego, recently, I visited my old friends Dusty Bernard and Buddy and Carol Romero.

Here are some of their paintings.

Here's a group of watercolors that hang in our living room. They are our personal favorites and are not for sale. They are available, however, as Giclée Fine Art Prints.
