Doors & Gates of the Southwest


Courtyard at Hubbell House

$100


Palette knife oil painting on 8 x 6 inch stretched canvas.

The Historic Hubbell House in Ganado, AZ, was home 
for the family who started the Hubbell Trading Post back in 1878. 
It is now a National Historic Site and well worth a visit if you're ever in that area. 
This little courtyard is so private and peaceful.

I loved how the gate was just hanging on the hinges - looked like 
it had been there a long, long time. Meyer Avenue is one of most charming
streets in El Presidio Historic District, Tucson, AZ.

DOORS & GATES: Disappearing Arches


Temple of Music & Art

$100


Palette knife oil painting on 6 x 6 inch stretched canvas.

There's a mystery here. Where are the arches leading me? 
I don't know, as I didn't follow the path, just 
thought of how I would paint them.

Barn Owl


"Barn Owl" - 8 x 6 on stretched canvas

SOLD

I frequently visit the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and one of the highlights there is something called Raptor Free Flight. Harris Hawks, this barn owl, another owl and a raven all fly free and have been trained to swoop in and grab a juicy tidbit (probably a dead mouse) from the handler. This one, with its lovely heart-shaped face, was thoughtful enough to pose for an instant so I could get a picture. It's always a thrill to watch them.
