Five Paintings for Alamosa ArtWalk
The winter seems to be melting away, even though we had a big blizzard last Friday! It's suddenly spring, and time for ArtWalk here in Alamosa. I am busy framing and will hang my five paintings this week at Hospice del Valle, 514 Main Street, for the big event this Saturday, March 27. (The five paintings will appear directly above this posting)
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.

Taos Show...Hearts and Stars
Somehow the year ended without me telling about participating in the December Hearts and Stars Miniature Show in Taos, NM. It is a show held each year at Wilder Nightingale Fine Art specifically to benefit the Taos Coalition to End Homelessness.
This was my first year to send a couple paintings to the show and I was happy to hear that my 8x10 landscapes, "Evening Gold" and "Twilight", received some positive attention. See the paintings directly above this post.
Thanks to Wilder Nightingale Fine Art for hosting this worthwhile benefit!

Creative Capitol show in Denver
The painting above this text ("Flowing Gold") is currently on display in the Colorado State Capitol through February 28, 2010. It is part of an exhibition celebrating Artists of Southwestern Colorado. I am honored to be one of 37 artists from 16 counties.
A public reception will be held on Thursday, January 28, 2010, 4:00 - 5:30 pm in the Offices of Lt. Governor Barbara O'Brien.
The raking evening light in this painting reveals brilliant golds in contrast with deep shadows along the Rio Grande as it flows through the San Luis Valley. Here water is more precious than gold.
