My favorite flowers in New Mexico. Fragile, paper-like beauties.

Such a peaceful scene, snow and beargrass.

I so loved painting this datura, so majestic, it deserved to be painted LARGE!

A wonderfully dramatic sky over Gallatin Valley. This is Big Sky country for sure!

Roadside sunflowers outside Santa Fe. What a beautiful state!

Bryce Canyon is such a stunning setting. This was a challenging painting, but I love the depth and colors.

I loved working on this piece. Such fun textures and moments of abstraction.

I had a dream that I was painting a longhorn. Woke and started this one that day. Love her! (and yes, it's a her)

I love the feeling this painting elicits....such a quiet that comes with snow.

This was a scene going to a search and rescue mission in December. The light was stunning on the cliffs and winter grass.

These desert flowers are so magical. Hard to capture their delicate beauty.

A stunning New Mexico morning. Brilliant sunrise with snow blanketing the ground.

A bend in the Gila river.

This was a stunning view, up in the four corners area close to Monument Valley. My favorite sky I've ever painted. If you turn the lights off in the room, it looks like it glows.

Hiking in the Gila Forest, surrounded by these beauties. Couldn't help but be in awe of that stark white trunk against the brilliant blue of the sky. One of these trees HAD to be a painting.

A peaceful, snowy Montana day.

An immediately recognizable icon from Yellowstone.

One of my interests outside of painting is hiking, and I often carry something back. This was the first in a series of 'found objects.'

A foggy day at Estes Park in Colorado, this painting had a special peacefulness to it from the very beginning. This is a limited edition giclee.

This painting was taken from my courtyard in New Mexico....one of our breathtaking sunsets. Is it any wonder this it's called the Land of Enchantment?

I woke up to this view on a cool December morning. The peaceful winter scene already looked like a painting....a wonderfully beautiful moment.

The title 'Solitude,' for this painting of Monument Valley in Utah, came from the effect that the piece seems to have on the viewer; almost as if it is just you and the vast landscape.

These are limited edition (500, signed and numbered) lithographs of a painting I did of an actual petroglyph located in southern New Mexico.
