Hummingbird with nest

 
Hummingbird with nest
6x8" oil/board
min. bid.$50.
 
 
Hummingbirds come back from Mexico
for the summer. They like to build their
nests in the fruit orchards, especially the
cherry and apple trees. Our neighbors keep
feeders out for them and they will have 30
hummers at a time.

Peonies abound in May. Too bad they only
bloom once like irises and lilies. That means
I am suppose to appreciate them more.

Pottery Place

 
 
 
 
Pottery Place
8x16" oil/board
min. bid $100.
 
I have painted this building many times. It is the old
La Luz Pottery. In the 1920's pottery was made here,
mainly red clay pots and roof tile for houses. It was
quite the cottage industry for awhile.

Path in the foxgloves





Path in the foxgloves
8x6" oil/board
min. bid $50.
 
 
 
It is hard to choose between foxgloves and hollyhocks to paint.
I like the tall stalks and big leaves and I think hollyhocks are more prolific
here in the Southwest.

Little daisies grow wild in our pasture. If you pick them
they wilt before you can get them in water. Even wilted
they are pretty but the daisies are also stinky-no sweet smell
either.                Available Here

In New Mexico there are many vineyards surrounded
by blue mountains and red tiled buildings. Water is in short supply
so everything is in close proximity.
