It is always difficult to decide which paintings to show. I finally decided to select by subject matter, and they are all of places right here at the north edge of town. The titles will explain nicely. Following is the Statement I have prepared for this show:
Artist Statement
Most days I walk on the levee along the south side of the Rio Grande, La Veta to State.
In summer, I sometimes bike on the levee north of the Rio, west from State around the big bend, across the south end of the Ranch, and back on Cottonwood to State.
What magnificent views at different times of the day, in different kinds of weather!
Light in the morning and evening changes everything --- often quickly and astoundingly.
I strive to capture some of that drama in the studio.
