Sunset in Seco

Here's another painting from New Mexico. I used to drive by this scene in Arroyo Seco on my way to  Taos Ski Valley, and as the sun was setting, it would light up Taos Mountain with shades of pink, crimson, and maroon as the sun slowly sank out of sight, giving credence to the monicker Sangre de Cristo.

Casa Azul with Taos Mountain, Early Spring

oil on panel, 10" x 10"

This is the view I had from my kitchen window in Arroyo Seco, NM.  This scene frequently mesmerized me with the ever-changing moods of that mountain.  It seemed like a living, breathing thing.

Kiss This

acrylic on canvas paper, 12" x 12"

This portrait was done from a photo of my deceased partner's daughter, Rose, when she was around 20 years old and still living in the U.K.  I thought it would make a fun portrait.  She is a fantastic person, funny and cheeky, and feels like a sister to me.

Convergence

Here's another attempt at a cityscape, this one of downtown San Francisco at night.  This type of urban one-point perspective scene is new to me and quite challenging, so it's a useful learning experience.
