"Contemplation in Red"

6x6

Acrylic on Canvas

I paid a fortune for this sofa. It keep calling me back to it until I finalized the purchase. No regrets here. It sits in what I have named the quiet room. I try to spend at least one hour a day in this room, usually clearing my head of all of the days events in the afternoon. The model captures the calm energy of the room.

"In a New Light"

8"x10" acrylic on hardboard I have driven past this building for most of my life. It stood as a marker of sorts, sitting off a long stretch of road between my grandmother's house and the closest town. I really never gave much thought to the building until the last time I drove that way. Unlike all of the other times it was night. I was returning home in the middle of the night and for the first time ever, I think I actually SAW the building. I wondered what it was like in its hay day?

The one thing I was certain of was that it was incredible the way it was lit up and glowing on the side of a dark Texas road. SOLD

Attitude in Paint

11x14 acrylic on hardboard This painting was inspired by a visit my daughter and I took to the art museum, our last one before everything changed. The museum has played a significant role in my life. As a young artist, I attended programs and workshops there. Later, as a teacher, I brought my students to experience the same. I even helped many of them build portfolios to apply for the museum’s scholarship opportunities. And, of course, I brought my own kids, hoping to pass on a love for art and creativity. On this particular visit, I decided to take a grown-up step and support the museum the way it had supported me. I purchased a yearly membership. Ironically, we never got to use the rest of the membership because... COVID. Still, we had a wonderful day. After exploring the exhibits, we capped it off with lunch at an art-themed restaurant. Although my daughter isn’t an artist herself, she has a genuine appreciation for art, which means a lot to me. At the end of o...

Mission"

“8x10” acrylic on hardboard It’s been so long since I painted one of these Missions. I had been organizing all of my photographs in hopes of backing them up when I came across this one. It’s been so long ago that I don’t remember which Mission this one is, but I can say it is one of the missions in San Antonio. I can also say I am absolutely sure it is not the Alamo, how’s that for information. This one was a bit different from most of my Mission paintings which are symmetrical.
