do my interpretation of the beauty of one of the many aspects of light
on the rocks there.

Helen's Dome After the Rain
Helen's Dome After the Rain is a 24" by 34" oil painting on canvas.
Early morning sun pinkens the horizon on the Rincons after rain has muted the desert colors. I love exploring the palette of colors these conditions produce. I like the feeling of this painting; it comes very close to expressing what I was trying to do.
Agave
When we first moved to Tucson, I would run by this dying agave and was struck by the beauty of the young replacement stepping up to fill the void that would be left. The burnt browns of the dying plant were a sharp contrast to the cool tones of the younger plant.
Nogales Sunlight
Nogales Sunlight is a 16" by 20" prismacolor pencil drawing.
A woman relaxing on a bench in the warmth. I was drawn to the simple beauty of her posture and the colors and patterns of the scene. She emanates a serenity I tried to capture by the repetition of simple patterns and color in the work. This piece was featured in the CPSA Signature Showcase Invitational in the Cornell Museum in Delray Beach, Florida from March 16 - June 4, 2006.

Cactus Forest
Cactus Forest is a 24" by 30" oil painting on canvas.
The sun rising over the Rincons washed out the horizon and abstracted the blooms on the foreground creosote bushes, lending an abstract element to the realism.
Ocotillo Screen
Ocotillo Screen is a 16" by 20" pencil drawing.
A woman making fry bread at San Javier Mission was behind a bunch of ocotillo; the pattern intrigued me to use it as a means of exploring the negative spaces behind it and as a vertical division of the composition which occurred naturally. I loved the beauty and peace she exuded as she went about her work.

A scene from a Low Rider show in downtown Tucson. Big Jim Griffith is a figure in the background; he was a key figure in the Tucson Meet Yourself event featuring this car show.
Ford in Brown and Gold
Ford in Brown and Gold is a 20" by 30" prismacolor pencil drawing, 1995.
I liked the limited palette occurring naturally in this scene and I exaggerated how the bright sunlight was washing out the scene in the background. To me, this created more of a contrast between the foreground reflections and figures against the abstraction of the arches in the back.
My Old '65
My Old '65 is a 16" by 23" prismacolor pencil drawing, 1994.
Steve and Sheryl and one of their cool cars. They actually bought the painting and have it in their living room.

Heading In
Heading In is a 24" by 30" oil painting on panel.
I met John Shinkle, a modern-day Wyoming rancher, at a gallery where I worked. He was such a nice man; he invited me to his ranch so I could photograph some subject matter. John, his horse Skeezix, and his dog, Frosty, were such a good team! This is one of my personal favorite Wyoming paintings I did from that time. This is my favorite painting from when I lived in Laramie. This painting, as well as the the three or four others I painted of John all sold to private collectors. I gave one to him as a thank you for being my model.

Bisbee Window Textures
Bisbee Window Textures is a 24" by 30" prismacolor pencil drawing.
Another piece where I used myself as a model. The textures of the old wood contrasted with the dark window glass reflecting the houses behind interested me.

Nogales Window Shopping
Nogales Window Shopping is a 24" by 30" watercolor painting.
I was the figure model again in this work involving the juxtaposition of outside/inside images in the reflections.
Alice's Window
Alice's Window is a 24" by 30" oil painting on panel.
Alice's Window is the first reflection study I did. It is an oil on panel and is a self-portrait looking into an antique store window. The bedroom setting included a mirror; so I worked the angle to include a reflection in the mirror as well as in the window glass. I liked the patterns of the Buckhorn Bar reflection from across the street. I like including figures in my work when they seem to fit, and I am always a convenient model.
I find the fragmentation and overlapping of images in reflections really interesting. The naturally-occurring abstractions of reality pique my curiosity.

At the Corral
At the Corral is a 24" by 30" oil painting on canvas.
The golden light near sunset revealed the scene of a modern horseman caring for his horses.
Fence Grid
Fence Grid is a 20" by 24" oil painting on panel.
In the background was an erroded hill; I was interested in the interaction of the fence pattern, the shadow patterns, and the lines created by the erosion. This piece is now housed by my brother.
Fenced In
Fenced In is a 16" by 20" watercolor painting.
I was experimenting with the contrast of leaving the fence elements unpainted in contrast to the horse and barn. This was a nice horse in real life. I think my dad built this fence. My dad loved to build and maintain fences.
Keeping Time
Keeping Time is a 20" by 30" pencil drawing.
A drawing from Cheyenne Frontier Days. I liked the pattern of the wire fence overlapping the horse and rider, lending an element of abstraction to the realism.
Mud Hens
Mud Hens is a 16" by 20" prismacolor pencil drawing.
These horses had been rolling in the mud, producing a texture on their coats which was echoed in the erosion of the wash behind them. I was also drawn to the expression on their faces as they shared a moment. In these drawings I was just starting to explore adding colored pencil to my previously all black and white drawings.
Rodeo Princess
Rodeo Princess is a 16" by 22" oil painting on panel.
A lady rodeo participant waiting for her turn.
