I generally start my landscapes outside, Plein-air, and then finish them in the studio from digital photos taken onsite.  This impressionistic style is all about capturing the moment, the weather, and the feeling of the place.  New works will be appearing here regularly.

"Fishing the Gorge"
12x9 Oil on Linen Board

It's early morning near Arroyo Hondo, north of Taos.  And already, a few fishermen are enjoying the quiet solitude of the Rio Grande Canyon.

"August Morning"
12x16 Oil on Linen Board

Looking north toward the Jemez Mountains, in late August, the next thunderstorm is building over the mountains and about to drop more life-giving rain on the green mesa tops.  Life is good.

This scene is up the road from our cabin in Cloudcroft, NM -- 9000 feet above stress level.

"Los Gigantes" - The Giants
14x11 Oil on Linen Board

"Pumpkin Truck"
11x14 Oil on Board

This old truck, on the road to Taos, has been filled with chilies and pumpkins since I was a kid.  It's still there every fall.
