Where Have I Been?


It seems as though I have not been paying much attention to my web site lately.  There are two reasons for that; one is that I have had little interest in painting the past year or more, and two, not many people look at my web site anyway.

But this spring when I returned from a long winter in the RV, I was determined to get back to painting.  I had the house to myself as Mark was still biking in Moab and Fruita so I could spread out and make as big a mess as I wanted.  

I scoured the internet for inspiration and found some.  Painting was fun again and I enjoyed trying new techniques and colors.  Here are the results:


Potosi Peak
8x8 matted and framed to 12x12, $110
Potosi Peak is a very recognizable mountain 13786' in elevation situated in the San Juan Mountains near Ouray and close to Mount Sneffles 




Lost In The San Juans
8x8 matted and framed to 12x12  $110
This was so fun to paint.  I loved playing with the blocks of color and using ink to outline them.
SOLD



Ice Lake Basin
6x12 matted and framed to 10x16, $169
I went a little nuts with this painting, especially the sky.



Twin Sisters and Rolling Mountain
6x12 matted and framed to 10x16, $169
This is quite a contrast from the Ice Lake painting.
I love the soft colors.  These peaks are close to Silverton and this view of them is from a high plateau above Red Mountain Pass.
