Clearing the Baler 

12x12 Inches Oil on Masonite  

$475

The old hay balers needed lots of tending just to keep them running.  Too much hay entering the machine all at once would jam the works and lead to delays.  My uncle didn't know he was posing for a photo, but my Mom was there with her Kodak Brownie at just the right moment.

Barn in Autumn

20x24 Inches Oil on Canvas 

$1440

Roaming through the countryside near Sonoma, California I fell under the spell of this old barn sturdily awaiting the next harvest.  The lane to the door looked unused and the fields appeared abandoned, but it had been built well and still offered shade from the summer sun, and a protected nest to the owl that swooped into the loft while I painted.

Desert Trails 

14x18 Inches  Oil on Masonite

 $756

South of the Salt Flats West of Salt Lake City lie desert valleys with few roads and lots of Juniper and sage brush.  Out there the desert winds whisper of ancient lake beds, and civilizations coming and going while seeking the deer and antelope for food and clothing.  It's easy to imagine their shadows under the low trees in the quiet isolation.
