Blue Retama portrays the Palo Verde (or Retama tree) in our backyard. The landscape is part abstract, part imaginary, part West Texas.
Roses and Morning Glories was painted in our garden. Sara's morning glories bloomed for months and were such a cheerful sight. They were bigger than I painted them. I didn't want to take away from the roses, which I had painted first and wanted to be the focal point.
Mother and Child is a graphite drawing done from a photograph which I took on a Saturday night at a very busy local restaurant, The Cove, where we were having dinner with good friends. Mothers and children is a subject dear to my heart.
