Still life

"Rock Study"

"Lombardi poplars in the background were imported by early settlers in Argentina. They are used as windbreaks and to line pastures and paddocks, making beautiful patchwork quilts of the ranches (estancias). They frame this stylized Graphites study of a rock formation near the Trocoman River."

"Angels' Grove"

"I paint outside because only then can I fully appreciate the hundreds of subtle colors of the wind. This grove of aspen in the plateaus of the Uncompaghre Mountains of Colorado was constantly in movement - intoxicated by the breezes and singing softly like a celestial chorus primeval.

"Patagonia Landscape"

"This is a stylized Graphites drawing of the view from my veranda. It stretches across the river and up the far hills to a vast horizon that lets my imagination run free. The mountain pass over which we ride our horses to get into Estancia Ranquilco is deep in shadow. Seldom do we have visitors, but once they do arrive, they never want to leave."

"Aspen at Otter Creek"

"These trees live high in the Colorado Rockies on the ramparts of the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area. I sat drawing, encircled by their beauty and sheltered by their shade. The music of a violin played not far away, rested for only a moment on the leaves like sweet perfume, before fading into the forest breeze. "

"Walking Rain II"

"Rain in the desert is an intriguing phenomenon. Seldom does a storm proceed like those of the mountains or even the plains. In my experience they are generally brief, walking gracefully across the landscape, and occasionally hitch-hiking on the wind, bringing all living things to grateful attention."
