Traveling by Bus

 

When I travel by bus to Mexico this images of distant trees stick in my mind. 

tranquil landscape

This is a landscape that I painted with very gentle colors but if you look close there is a lot of exciting things going on. there is an underpainting in red that comes through her and there and the texture is also kind of fun.

Copper Oaks

pomegranate trio

I decided to paint three pomegranates again these time in a more dramatic light. I'm  really satisfied with the result. I think I'm going to try something similar in my next painting.

Four Brown Turkey Figs

I like to paint figs,  I ate them as a kid when we would visit an old man who lived in a town called San Jose near El Villar in San Luis Potosi. They bring back wonderful memories

A Battle to The Finish

Blue Sky in Central Texas

This painting is actually one part of a triptych. I do these landscapes and give myself a lot of artistic freedom. In this case it is not a specific location but a place in my mind that remembers driving and looking to the side to see land that extends far into the distance.  Those hills far way could be the Texas Hill country or mountains from my childhood in Mexico. These paintings are about the way the actual paint blends with every color, and also how it interacts with the texture of the canvas.

An abstract landscape which was based on my memories of lands I've walked on. The ground  has become hard and compressed from the lack of rain.

farmland and oak clusters

Mi Papa (my Father)

I found this drawing of my dad in a pile of old work. At the time I drew it  I didn't like it but,  now I think is not too bad. I have so much trouble drawing family members. I'm never satisfied.

Four figs

Figs must be one of my favorite fruits, they remind me of my childhood. We would visit an old man in a village high in the mountains; a town called San Jose.  Thats where I first  tasted this delicious fruit.
