No new art recently. I must tackle the gigantic lot we own and do things my doctor will lecture me about. My body is giving me a lecture right now on doing yardwork with degenerative disc disease.

Here are some pastels of northern New Mexico

Cactus Desert Night. A saguaro under scattered stars and a crescent moon.

Deep indigo skies, warm desert glow. Southwest aesthetics meet algorithmic art.

Love this artist’s work (William Haskell). Once gifted hub a western tie with painting by Haskell ("Desert Overlook”).

An oil painting of an approxinately 800 year old handmade native bowl next to a cholla cactus, a yellow wildflower and a desert willow beanpod.  The items are arranged on a turquoise cloth against a Cadmium Red background.

This painting took me about 20 hours to complete. I have been painting for two months, and I love it!

My mother was having a home built near Globe, AZ. She ordered a load of fill dirt for landscaping, and in that load of dirt were the pieces of this approximately 800 year old native bowl. She painstakingly glued the pieces, and asked me to paint it for her. She said it could be my first commission! I arranged the bowl on fabric my mother had in her sewing room, turquoise for the foundation and a deep beautiful red for the background. I went for a walk beneath the Superstition Mountains were I live, and picked out a cholla cactus, a desert willow beanpod, and a wildflower. I arranged them in my shadowbox, and took this reference photo for my mother's painting.

I completed a layer of Pthalo Green Glaze across the blue cloth to bring it back more to Turquoise. There has just been so much learning and editing with this piece i'm surprised I haven't ruined it yet.

Solid afternoon at the easel. It will take another couple of sessions to complete this #stilllife #oilpainting of a broken native bowl, but changes will be small. A layer of glaze to bring out the turquoise in the foundation cloth, cholla spines and a few final touches.

Electromagnetic Observation
Southwestern light is its own kind of frequency—charged, radiant, constantly shifting. This piece captures the desert as an electromagnetic field made visible through color and form.

Patterned shrubs rise from rust-red soil, each one distinct, like symbols etched into the land. Dark hills anchor the scene with geometric texture, while distant blue mountains fade into a deepening sky.

Some images whisper instead of shout.
Held in Shadow is about restraint, scale, and the quiet authority of the land—meant to be lived with, not glanced at.

An oil painting of a small adobe building in soft gray tones beside pale pink rock formations under a bright blue sky. Dark tree branches form a web-like pattern across the top of the scene. Long, dark shadows stretch across the ground, suggesting late afternoon light. The brushstrokes are bold and simplified, giving the scene a stylized, modern feel.

A tiny painting with a big sense of place. This 5x7 miniature captures a familiar Taos street—soft adobe curves, winter shadows, and that bright New Mexico sky threading through bare branches.
