TBT Evening Clouds, Santa Fe Oil on Linen 18" x 24"

This was from a walk towards sunset in monsoon season 8 years ago today in my neighborhood just outside of Santa Fe. Just a crazy spectacular cloud formation.

Slowly the west reaches for clothes of new colors 
which it passes to a row of ancient trees. You look, 
and soon these two worlds both leave you, 
one part climbs toward heaven, one sinks to earth,
leaving you your own life, 
timid and standing high and growing, so that, sometimes blocked in, 
sometimes reaching out, one moment your life is a stone in you, and the next, a star. 
- Rilke

WIP Aspens in Fog Oil on Linen 24" x 36"

Back in the studio and working more on this one. I find that I have to leave it from time to time in order to see what I need to do next. Ways to go still.

TBT A dusk walk and moonrise near our house in Santa Fe 6 years ago. A little otherwordly, kind of like a Douanier Rousseau painting.
