This is the painting that I donated to the Alamosa Art Gala this year. I enjoy participating and donating my art each year as I believe that the Chamber of Commerce in Alamosa does wonderful work to promote local small businesses which I think greatly contributes to the local community.

On March 8-10th I participated in the Spring Tempe Festival of Arts, a juried event for regional artists. This was my 3rd outdoor weekend art show and probably the most ambitious yet as it was an 8 hour out-of-state drive each way. This was 3+ days long event, with set up on the evening prior ...
The Markers’ Market in Del Norte was great fun and success! Below are a few moments captures on camera. One wonderful surprise was our dear friend Jeff coming by to shop some original art. You can see him with me and with his new night sky mountain art which perfectly reflects his love and involvement with night sky programs in the valley and his avid hiking lifestyle – thank you Jeff!
For the last few seasons, I’ve enjoyed creating a small series of wood slice paintings. It began in the Spring of 2023 and followed each season with a new shape and size. This time around I was excited to step out of the round and try some more angular shapes seen below. Each one is a magical world of mountain layers and night skies – my favorite subjects to explore in paint.

Yesterday I had the best Holiday Market and would like to thank all the people of Alamosa who have come out to support this great event and that have stopped by to talk to me and who chose my art to take home as something special from the Holiday Market  My family has a special connection to the San Luis Valley, being that both our boys were born here in town and we also own a 40 acre property outside of town that we use for our own creative expressions and taking in the incredible views.
I’ve committed to Opening ‘Print Pre-Orders’ in my Online Art Shop about 2 times per year for the end of the year Holidays and to celebrate Spring/Summer. This is the only time that I open up orders for prints. The current Pre-Order Closes at Novermber 21st.
Crested Butte is one of my favorite Autumn destinations for hiking, camping and ofcourse LEAF PEEPING! So I lined up an Art Festival to coincide with our annual autumn extravaganza. I applied and was accepted to the Artumn Festival in CB. Following the success at the Durango Autumn Art Festival, I was hoping for a great event. Unfortunately, this festival maybe 5% to 10% of the foot traffic of the Durango Event. Still I med wonderful art friends, connected with great folks enjoying the beautiful day in Crested Butte and I learned a lot, especially to research events I will be applying to in the future to ensure that I put my eggs in the right basket in 2024!
On September 16th and the 17th, I participated in the Juried 2 Day Autumn Art Festival in Durango, the cultural center of Southwestern Colorado. I was thrilled to have been accepted into my first event of this kind, a prestigeous and beautifully organized even only 1 hour away from where I live in Pagosa Springs. ...
These were some of the new paintings I created for Autumn Art Festivals. I loved seeing them all together bursting with color and the magic of the Mountain West!
