"SANTA FE"

                       
                                            "BOUND for SANTA FE"
                                                        6X6"

I have made this run to Santa Fe numerous times and always find something new to photograph and turn into a painting.  This airstream shinny and new just gleamed in the sunshine, it was a must to take a picture of.   I wanted to paint it like an old sepia photo, all warm tones, I think I got it, don't you?    (Sold) 

"ON THE EDGE"

                                                           "ON THE EDGE"
                                                        30x30 oil on canvas

Traveling on a back road with the city riding the horizon, flanked by the pacific on one side and dry grasses on the other it was truly on the edge.  I pulled of the road, knelt down to get closer to the ground thus accentuating the sky and sliver of life I took one photo.  It was to be my next painting.
