Backyard in the Foothills

We are back from our December trip to Tucson. Not a great trip this time I am afraid. The sewer pipe backed up twice into our bathtub, so we spent a lot of time with plumbers, the weather was cold and damp for the most part, our cat died while we were away and we both came home with awful colds. I still cannot hear out of my right ear and I can't taste food at all. Don't fly with a cold if you can help it. I thought my right eardrum was going to burst.

We did manage to get in a couple of nice days though. The day we drove down to Tubac was simply gorgeous! I have never seen Tubac so empty of people. I guess everyone must come after Christmas. Then we had a nice trip over to Tohono Chul Park where I bought a lovely piece of artwork from an artist who was new to me, Rand Carlson.

We had a lovely dinner with friends on Christmas day and again on New Years eve.

So now I am back in Boston. At least now I can say that I am moving out to Tucson full time next year. This has been a long grueling path which no one ever expected.

Here are some more photos from our trip:

Our temps are on a roller coasters going from 48 (unseasonable) to plunge to 16 the next day and the precip goes from rain to snow and ice. Hope you feel better REAL quick. I think an earache is far worse than a toothache. Load up on the decongestants.

Artist Statement

For most of my career as an artist I have been a painter. I have worked in pen and ink, watercolors, gouache, oils and acrylics. I have always painted the world around me in all its true splendor. For many years I lived in the tropics and painted the lush plant life that surrounded me. When I left the tropics and moved out into the country I painted landscapes of the local farms and my wonderful vegetable garden.

In the early 90’s I began a career in graphic design. I designed textbooks for both Pearson Education and Houghton Mifflin. Working as a graphic designer gave my work a new vision. I still painted and drew in my spare time as much as I could but in graphic design it is all about the software. I became a Photoshop whiz and specialized in digital artwork.

Thank you for looking at my work and please get in touch if you would like to purchase my work.
