Honey Crisp and Spatula

I enjoyed studying the white fabric which looks especially realistic against the dark background.  In person, the fabric looks like it jumps off the canvas.  The apple was fun and painting fruits and vegetables is always a challenge and is satisfying. I think people are drawn to this little painting due to its unusual composition.

Pear and Apple

Small oil on board painting (6"x8") of fruit on handkerchief.  Good practice on handling paint when not painting other subjects!

Calf Roper

A 20"x16" oil on canvas painting of a calf roper.  Cowboys and the American West!  So iconic!

Busker

An 8"x12" oil on canvas of a young, Hispanic busker and his dog on a blue painted tile sidewalk playing an accordion. 

Bronco Rider

A large oil on canvas painting of an unlucky bronco rider! This painting is 26"x48" canvas mounted on wood panel.

Girls in Creek at Crested Butte

Mother and daughters in a tiny creek looking at....?  This is tiny, plein air painting, 4"x6" oil on canvas panel. Had to capture the moment and the light.

I love Crested Butte!

Bull Rider

A large, oil on canvas painting (30" x 46").  This is part of a western and rodeo series of paintings.

String Quartet, oil on canvas, 24"x45"
