Little House in the Woods



Little House in the Woods
12 x 12 Oil/Linen Panel

I think I have been somewhat influenced by all the glorious colour that we have had around us here in New Mexico!! However, I think it may have all gone now, as we had a sprinkling of snow this morning.

I am happy to say that on the Saturday opening of the Albuquerque Museum Miniature show, one of my paintings sold. I am hoping in the coming weeks the other two will also sell.

Art Journey New Mexico



104 artists who live throughout the state of New Mexico have been included in this book 'Art Journey, 104 Painter's Perspectives', which has just been published. Barry and I are honoured to have been included.

It really is a beautiful book, we are thrilled with it.

Autumn



Season of Mists
9 x 15 Oil/Linen panel

I just love this time of the year. Both here and in the UK. All the beautiful horse chestnut trees and the conkers on the ground in the UK and here, the cottonwoods are just a perfect gold. There is a wonderful bosque near where I play tennis at lunchtime with my friend Sue, and we often stop to marvel at the beauty of the yellow and the blue of the New Mexico sky. How lucky we are.

Getting There....!



The Wren, The Nest and The Bumblebee
9 x 15 Oil/linen panel

I am gradually getting all my deadline pieces finished. I will be so glad. Then I can get on with lots of other new pieces. The colours here in New Mexico are glorious and I have started painting the cottonwoods again. Just love them.
