I've just completed a new piece in the Santa Chi Collection, entitled “Shadows and Lace”. It features the "Little Church", which I previously interpreted in the Santa Fauve Collection as Magic Dirt--Sacred Land.The secondary theme of this painting is trees (with the Santuario de Chimayo as the primary focus). Even though Winter is my least favorite of the four seasons (unless I am living in a Mediterranean-type climate), the twelve paintings of the initial Santa Chi Collection will all depict a wintertime scene. Rather than focus on how depressing I personally find leafless trees during cold weather, I chose to highlight the “lacey” qualities presented in their bare branch silhouettes. Another dramatic accent, no matter the season, is the shadowing of the trees – even more detailed during times of leafless winter.I am now “slinging paint” on another painting for the Santa Fauve Collection titled Seventh Chakra.

I am currently working on a painting for the Santa Chi Collection of the little church at Chimayo - "Santuario de Chimayo." I have already interpreted it in the Santa Fauve Collection as "Magic Dirt - Sacred Land." As soon as I complete this current painting I will begin working on a painting for the Santa Fauve Collection titled "7th Chakra" - this will be my 9th painting since July 2009.
