Snow is gone around most of the city but it is so beautiful to see all the snow on the Sandias and this is the foothills just above our house. #newmexicotrue #blueskies #landofenchantment #welcomesnow

Just installed my painting "Meandering Through the Canyon" at Sierra Vista Hospital in Truth or Consequences as part of the NM Art in Public Places Program.

Here in the southwest, water has always been the most important aspect of our existence and increasingly so here and all over the planet.

Colorful Memory: Budapest
Acrylic on canvas, 24 x 36 inches
While visiting Budapest for the second time, I had more time to just relax and Margaret Island is the perfect place to do that. The gardens are so lovely so I took photos of the lovely water lilies, bursting with color in the ponds.

Coastal Symphony II
Acrylic on canvas

Noon walk. Had to skip the early morning walk as it was only 18F, cloudy, and windy. Now it is 30, sunny, and no wind. The tiny bit of snow we got yesterday and last night is gone except what is in the shade but it is great to see snow on Sandia mountains. Lots of snow in the East mountains.

"Cholla Sunrise", acrylic on canvas, 20 x 30 inches. I walk in the morning in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque and the views to the valley and Mt. Taylor in the distance are beautiful, especially with the colors of the sky and the cactus after they get enough rain to blossom.
