Atmosphere

 Different weather conditions change the way I view a scene. This year we had many stormy days and also some peaceful evenings.   I find both intriguing to paint. Patagonia Evening 12" x 16" oil $400 Winter Storms 20" x 16" oil $500

Palm trees

Agua Caliente is like an oasis in the Sonoran Desert. Most of the palm trees have never been trimmed and are "bearded". A couple of years ago a section burned after a lightening strike. Many of the trees survived but now have very dark trunks. Bearded Palms 14" x 11" oil $300 Recovering Palms 10" x 8" oil $150
