Mount Sienna

I was inspired by seeing the mass of yellow-browns and reds resting on these golden plains...so I named this painting "Mount Sienna". I'm pretty sure that it was given an "official" name at some point in time, but then there are miles and miles of prarie and mountains across Catron and Socorro counties in New Mexico. This is a 15"x30" gallery wrapped oil on canvas. It is for sale.

The Outdoor Studio

My outdoor studio is a converted camper. It's at the base of the mountain. I can have up to four paintings in progress there. The windows and openess of it allows me to truly experience & be part of the enviroment....mountain, woods, valley, and even horses and elk grazing nearby add to the inspiration. In this photo I'm working on a painting of the Rio Grande which I'll soon publish.

High Plains ( in progress)

Here is a painting in progress.....a representation of the high plains desert in Western New Mexico. I'm noticing how the landscapes here kind of lend themselves to elements of abstract design. I've decided to do another rendition of this scene after it is completed...the second version will be an exercise in abstract art.
