A turquoise-trimmed doorway interrupts the warm surface of a traditional adobe wall. Strong sunlight, carved textures and simple geometry capture the distinctive character of Taos Pueblo architecture. Made with organic material from the site of the painting (sand, dirt and even bits of grass!).

A cowboy guides his horse through calm, shallow water bordered by tall reeds. The elongated reflection and gentle ripples create a striking sense of stillness and depth.

A solitary longhorn stands in a flooded pasture beneath a veil of mist. Its quiet reflection and the muted earth tones give the scene a calm, atmospheric quality.

Cattle graze across a gently sloping pasture in the cool light of early morning. Long shadows and muted woodland tones create a quiet rural atmosphere.

A massive bison fills the composition against dense green foliage. Rich violets, earthy browns and warm highlights give the animal a powerful, almost monumental presence.
