Talavera Pottery 8 x 10

I've always loved Talavera pottery and a few pieces.  Rich colors and interesting designs.I was born in Robstown Texas, a small town outside of Corpus Christi. I love Hispanic influences - touches for the home and food. 

Pastel Teacup

I've painted this in oil then again in pastel. It recently sold at the Breckenridge Fine Arts Center Exhibit.

"Red Mums" 11x14 oil

I painted this lovely setup at Kaye Franklin's October class. There is a lot of different colors of reds - cadmium red light, alizarin, and Grumbacher red.

"Blue Door" 16x20 Oil

My inspiration for this painting was a photo from our Czech Republic '06. In the countryside we found 10 - 12 old wine cellars which were dug into the side of the hill.
