Freight at Dusk (16 x 21 watercolor) $600
I drive through Albany on my way to Art in the Valley several times a month. Crossing over the railway bridge I admire the trains, but there’s no place to pull over and stop. So last month, I made a point of pulling into the station and walking up the bridge to photograph the trains. I may do it again at a different time of day.

Birth of Venus Two, (18 x 24 watercolor) $700
Botticelli’s Birth of Venus is stunning, but it never captured the delivery part of birth for me. Botticelli’s Venus is serene. She is arriving at the shore, the messy birth process long behind her. My Venuses are actually in the process of emerging from the sea foam.

Perhaps Persephone (watercolor 16 x 22) $700
Initially, this painting was inspired by a bird’s nest left over from last Spring. Looking at the nest, the woman with bird’s nest hair and the whitewater dress rising from the ground just came to me. She became Persephone as painted her. Now she is drowsily sinking back into the earth before her return to Hades and the Underworld. She’ll be back in the Spring.

Via Miranda (watercolor 9 x 19) $250
From Miranda del Castanar, all the views are vistas but all the vistas are framed by narrow streets. This little half timbered village, with a population of less than five hundred is a joy to wander.

The paintings are the same length but different widths and would make a nice set. They are available either individually or discounted slightly as a set.

Aqua Falls (watercolor 16 x 23) $700
No these falls aren’t actually named the Aqua Falls. I don’t know their name. I think of them as the aqua falls, because the water is the most beautiful aqua color there. There being the first falls on the Opal Creek Trail, east of Salem, Oregon. If you hike the trail you’ll find them just as you reach the abandoned mill machinery. You have to scramble a little off trail down some rocks to reach this view of them. The good news is you’ll probably have them to yourself.

Setenil Fortress (watercolor 15 x 24) $600
Setenil de los Bodegas of Cadiz Province, Spain is one of the more interesting pueblos blancos of Andulacia. Unlike most pueblos blancos it occupies either ridge of a valley rather than a hilltop. Many of the houses are semi-troglodyte, occupying shallow caves in the valley walls. One street includes a natural tunnel.
The view in this painting is from our apartment porch in Setenil looking across at the old castile.
