Donation Box Art

I haven't been painting much, but I did paint some raptor portraits on the Donation Box for Nature's Educators. I am a volunteer and enjoy my time with the raptors and looking forward to doing programs, fairs and festivals in the future. Check out their website: http://www.natureseducators.com/ . You might even consider adopting a raptor or making a donation.

Christmas Card 2010

Each year I do my Christmas card using one of my paintings or drawings. This year's card was different from my usual winter landscape scene, and was influenced by my visit to the Ghost Ranch in Abiqui, New Mexico and the home of artist Georgia O'Keeffe. Her home has numerous collections of skulls, bones and rocks which she used in some of her paintings. This is my "Georgia O'Keeffe" Christmas card, adding the red Christmas bulb to my drawing.

Ghost Ranch 3

Another painting of the Ghost Ranch area. Oil on canvas, 11 X 14.

Trip to Santa Fe and Ghost Ranch

Recently traveled to Santa Fe and toured the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and her home and studio in Abiqui. Really inspiring, so here are two of my paintings, painted from photos that I took on the trip. The poplar trees were brilliant, and the bluffs of Ghost Ranch stunning.
