Just Peachy
My latest painting, Just Peachy, continues the series of paintings that combine still life and fabrics with elements of the landscape. Sometimes life feels good on both the inside and the outside, the curtain is the symbolic veil between the two. The peaches are from our trees and tasted great. It’s a great motivator to […]
In the Spotlight – a Bromeliad painting
We are not all comfortable being in the spotlight. But this bromeliad is showing its true colors and seems quite serene there. Some bromeliads have such highly saturated color that they can look unreal. They are spiky and gangly and strange-looking. Just like some people. Perhaps that’s why I like them so much. This […]
Summer Fête with mangos
Summer Fête is a commission I just completed for a friend who gave it as a gift. I found the fabric when I was at a thrift shop recently and it’s the same print in different colors as one I used in a painting nine years ago. Go figure. Mangos are one of my favorite subjects. […]

Manifest Destiny
Manifest Destiny is one of the paintings in my current show. It continues the theme of looking at our relationship with and connection to nature. Manifest destiny was a 19th century belief in the destiny of settlers to expand westward across the United States, and remake the land and culture. It served to justify, as a moral imperative, both the expansion […]
At the Crossroads – and show reminder
My dogs chase rabbits. Normally that is not a problem since they are not fast enough to catch Jack Rabbits. But once in a while I get panicked when they chase a little bunny. Little white-tailed desert bunnies, although they are fast, are not always the wisest about where to find quick shelter under a […]
Portrait of Tess
Tess took painting classes from me. She was already quite talented and drew well. I shared the basics of painting in oils with her. Then she became a teen ager and I lost her to boys. This is an oil sketch I did of her using a less limited palette. It’s basically the Zorn palette, along with a […]
