The Keyhole

"The Keyhole"

This is another of those images from many years ago retrieved from a slide. "The Keyhole" (watercolor/sold)  is part of a red rock formation west of Loveland, Colorado called the Devil's Backbone.  I have hiked there many times, but avoid mid summer when the rattle snakes are common.

Ellie's Chair

Ellie's Chair

I recently had some old slides converted into digital images.  One of my "long lost" images is of this watercolor, "Ellie's Chair".  I started and completed most of it en plein air.  This image is important to me as it's the first in my quite large series of chair paintings.

For Vincent

"For Vincent"

This 12" x 15" pastel painting of Van Gogh's Starry Night is one I completed recently for a pastel class that I teach out of my home studio.  I -along with the rest of the world have come to appreciate Van Gogh, sadly far too many years after his death.  Starry Night is a favorite but actually copying it gave me that much more appreciation for his artwork.  We had a fun learning experience.
