Indeed. In honor of First Peoples I wanted to post this portrait, a Taos Pueblo man; I painted this gentleman for myself and is not for sale. Been to the Taos Pueblo several times. Over the decades I've witnessed how it changed; the doors painted differently, etc.

This is the Lone Cypress at Pebble Beach, CA. That lovely stretch along Hwy One is a dramatic overlook after another. It is the image for my account. Oil on canvas.
Ever sell a painting, and still regret it years later?🙂This is one.

Taos Pueblo. Painted this years ago, sold it. The gentleman called me and asked if I wanted it back; he was in ill health and didn't want his kids to sell it in a garage sale. He's gone now. I so appreciate him doing so. I've been back to the Pueblo several times since that first visit.

One of my favorite portraits; my son-in-law took this reference photo. Went to China for a month in 2010. There were figures in the background I removed. I was struck by the dignity of this man. In the town square; he is smoking an opium pipe. He didn't care what you thought about him. Available.

Needed to calm my rage over politics and remind myself of what inspires me. I painted this some seasons ago in the fall, then returned in the spring when the pecan trees were leafed out to finish it. This is the upper Guadalupe River, the same river that flooded over the 4th of July weekend.

Painted this a few years ago. Oil on canvas. 26"x32". The Guadalupe River, in drought stage. Painted it over two seasons because I wanted the pecan trees fully leafed out. The upper part of the same river that flooded central Texas. Available.
