This is a throw back to my Southwest up-bringing, and the SW colors.    Sandy from MacCreeds Gallery loaned me this nice vase for my still life.    She has some beautiful things in her Gallery.    The carving is of Kokopelli,  God of rain, I purchased it from a young native boy on the rim of Canyon de Chilly in Arizona.    The turquoise necklace was from a native girl there.    The scorpion was my late brother-in-laws.    The chunk of rock is a piece of the Canyon, given to me by a dear friend.      Lots of  memories in this little still life.    16"x 20", Oil on Canvas.   Framed in a nice, rustic, SW style frame.   $500.  Free shipping.

Feb. 21, 2009 "Fall At It's Best" It's cold outside, so decided to get some painting done. This is another painting started last October. It's a view above the small dam, at the trout hatchery. I couldn't resist painting this fisherman. Although one fisherman left and another stood in his place, so I had to revise it a little. There were many fishermen and women coming and going, but that's what you have when you paint plein air. I just get in a "zone"....and look past them, and then hardly notice they are there. Those seriously fishing, hardly notice me too. "Touche" .

"Anna", 18"x 24", Oil  This is Anna, painted from life in Lee Summit, at Tina Garrett's studio.    This was so much fun to do.    A real challenge for me.......but fun.    Since getting it home I've darkened up the background as suggested by Romel de la Torre, but I still kind of like this first version.    I'm looking forward to painting more figures from life this year.
