Photo encaustic diptych of tangled, tall birch trees in a small valley in Reykjavik, Iceland called Elliðaárdalur. The encaustic wax is built up to create texture around the edges of each piece, and the muted tones of the background vary from yellow to green.

Just because I'm painting again doesn't mean that I've given up on photography — far from it. This photo encaustic diptych of a tangle of tall birches in Elliðaárdalur in Reykjavik will be on display as part of my Urban Trees show.

"A Spirtual Moment"

On the side of the road
Just beyond a bend
The heaviness of the world
Disappears in the wind.

Some recent photo encaustic work. I've been obsessed with this process lately. #photography #encaustic #photoencaustic #landscape

There are images I come back to time and time again. This one I used my IPhone to capture a few years ago. My boys used to swim under, climb on and fish from this tree. I finally was able to create an encaustic piece that captured my memories of this dreaming tree.

"Cloudscape" I take deep breaths to prepare for another day in Trumpland. I escape through my art. How are you coping?

Foggy Morning in San Cristóbal

This was a scene after a light snowfall near my house in San Cristóbal, New Mexico, a close-knit little community about 20 miles north of Taos. British author D.H. Lawrence owned a ranch here in the 1920s.

If I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,if I touch
near the fire the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,everything carries me to you.

-From "If You Forget Me" by Pablo Neruda
