"CASA ON EDITH STREET"

8x10" oil

 

A plein air painting day in the north valley near my home.

I would love to live in this old house and fix it up!

"THE FLOWER TRUCK"

8x10"

oil

$150

I loved painting this old vintage truck.

It actually lives in this yard and has

tiny twinkle lights attached to it,

which I chose not to paint.

I sometimes get myself into trouble 

because I hate to render an accurate sketch.

Perspective is so linear!

For me, a touch of whimsy is always in order.

I hope you like it.

I miss Taos right now - 

I heard that they just might have snow on the ground today.

THAT I don't miss.

I was never much of a snow person.

I skied, but mostly because other people in my family did

and I went along because they wanted me too.

I was always scared I was going to fall off of the chairlift

and everyone would laugh at me.

Or I would get my poles tangled up in something.

Or run into a tree, or someone would run into me.

I remember the time I fell and my ski came off and went sailing

up a catwalk about 300 feet away from me.

Uphill.

And the COLD.

I hated the cold worse than anything.

So, these days, I let other people ski.

And I remain by the fire with a blanket and a good book.

The painting above is really what Taos means to me.

Lots of beautiful fields, mountains, clouds, and a little tiny house

being a home for some lucky family.

In the spring, summer, and fall.

NOT the winter.

I love you Taos, but I will let other people

take pictures of snow!

In other news, I am going for a physical today. Ugh.
More to report tomorrow....

"HEADED HOME" Taos winter cows

"HEADED HOME"

6x6"

oil on hardboard

$145

These are Taos winter mountains and Taos cows.

Briskness in the air and a little snow still on the ground.

I wanted to be as loose as possible with this painting.

I still think it could have more of an abstract feel 

and I can see that I'm headed that way in my work. 

When I look at it, I don't see cows headed home,

I see big juicy chunks of paint and the negative space between the cows.

And the orange in the mountains.

I like this one!
