These two images were painted the same day - I was at a friend's house and was hoping to paint the amazing view from her front porch.  Unfortunately, it was foggy and humid, so I turned and painted the workshop on the property.  Once I got it blocked in, the humidity kept it from dying, so I started a second version.  The second one is on some hand-laid paper that I had on hand, so it was different.  Hoping to get back soon and take on the long view from the porch!

This was done from a photo that I took a long time ago, when we were living in Honduras.  The Pulperia is basically a convenience store in a neighborhood that is usually the ground-floor of a family's home.  It is where you go for everything from a bag of beans to "minutes" for your cell phone.  They are usually sponsored by the local phone company, as well as Coke or Pepsi.  

This is a bit different, but was fun to paint.  El Alcázar is a royal palace in Sevilla Spain.  I was asked to paint something with a middle-eastern flavor.  Although Spanish, this definitely has a "Moorish" influence.  All of the detail was challenging, but fun

Mercer Street in Dripping Springs is a great place to paint - I have thought about painting this one for a while and finally got around to it.  Unfortunately, it was cold and windy, so I ended up working from the front seat of the car. Started it on location and finished it up oin the warm studio

Took another trip to Carper's Creek Ranch to capture this Goat shed - It was a cold, damp day, but painting alongside friends makes it all worth it

This painting was inspired by a photo that I took somewhere, some place that I don't recall.  I do remember being struck by the loneliness of this wide-spot in the road in the middle of nowhere.  Although there were no people in the photo, the finished painting really needed a touch of humanity
