Artist's Statement about this work: Due to the quarantine, my sister-in-law decided it was time to raise chickens. Her four hens are extremely productive with a variety of gorgeous eggs. When I was given some, my first thought was that they needed to be painted first - then eaten.

Artist's Statement about this work: At Horseshoe Bend, the dark, cool shades of the meandering Colorado River incised deeply into the plateau make a stunning contrast against the warm tones of the hot desert. The first time I saw a photo of Horseshoe Bend, I knew I had to find it and paint the scene.

Artist's Statement about this work: The images in this painting tell a story of USA government officials during 2019. In order to work through my feelings about politics during these troubled times I have created paintings and sculptures to satisfy my need to express my thoughts and to relieve stress. These figures were in a window sill in San Miguel de Allende in an artist’s studio. They represent various political members of the White House.

Artist's Statement about this work: This painting was referenced from several personal photos taken while on a boat. The Point Fermin lighthouse sits on the top of the bluff above Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, CA. My childhood haunt on the beach and above on the bluff is the location of my demonstration for a Colour In Your Life video. I emphasized the heavy surf and placement of the Seagulls to add action as well as drama.

Artist's Statement about this work: Everyday Buddhist is from my Tibetan Woman series. In this series I depicted four Tibetan mother’s images, who were of different ages. I met these women during journeys that I made to Tibet in the past years. Tibetan people have a unique religious culture, live an authentic and simple lifestyle. They are strong, resilient, and peaceful. I had always loved the Tibetan people, their unique Buddhist culture, and the magnificent scenery of Tibet. In this series, all the women were represented in their daily life. They are wearing distinguishable folk clothing and in settings with Tibetan Buddhist motifs in their background. I stayed at this old mother’s house for a week during one trip in Tibet. She was in her 80’s and still participated daily labor. When she took breaks, she kept practicing daily Buddhist meditation. She passed away a few years after my visit. Her soul is in peace forever.

Artist's Statement about this work: The softened wet-in-wet work of sky and background foliage as well as vertical reflections within the water direct the viewer to these lake travelers emerging from rising mist so common in the northern lake country. A warm fall palette provides a rich yet softened backdrop, setting the stage for the painting's focal point highlighted within the cooler reflections drawing one's eye to our adventurers.

Artist's Statement about this work: Visual expression is one of my life's greatest joys. Learning that the journey is the best part has taken many years. I enjoy painting the face and figure. This gentleman at a Santa Fe market caught my eye and I was able to capture his profile half in shadow. The bright sunlight along with the colors of the southwest in my limited palette helped to convey his spirit and the spirit of this town.
