Milkyway Above an Aster Meadow
I painted this night sky painting for my sister Gosia. We wanted her to come along on a recent Tucson Road Trip with us but she couldn’t make it this time around. So in good spirit we brought her painting with us and it did some sightseeing for her, then we shipped it to her from Arizona.
Summer Solstice Star Show
Right around the Summer Solstice, the weather warms up in the high country, the meadows green up and begin to be blanketed by colorful wildflowers. The surrounding mountains are lush and green and full of life.
Rose and Lavender Mountain Galaxies
I worked to create a unique scene inspired by various ways that the colors pink and lavender can be seen in nature while thinking of Winter. I’ve once seen a beautifully pinkish, violet night sky filled with incredible stars. I stood under it and wondered at the sight, ‘How could the sky feel pinkish at night? Magic!’. I’ve seen snow capped peaks appear a glowing pink due to the illusion created by the suns setting and rising rays.

New Minies Will Be Available End of March
At the beginning of this year I began a new series of small paintings: 6″x8″, 6″x12″ and 8″x10″. These are the first 5 of the group. I plan to paint another 6-9 for this series. Then I’ll choose a group to display at a local gallery here in Pagosa Springs.
Alpine Night Painting
This painting was inspired by clear nights in remote mountain environments where the sky is filled with infinite stars.
