Tulips on Blue


Some local artists in Pueblo, CO got together last week and painted this tulip still life together. January is a great time to paint tulips. They remind you spring will come. This is an 8 x 10 inch oil painting available in my Etsy shop.

Antelope Play - SOLD




I love antelope. They are a reminder that America used to be wild. I am so impressed they are still here. They are survivors. With their comical faces they charm us. They run like the wind. I saw these two in southern Colorado last year. This is a 12 x 24 oil painting available in my Etsy shop.

Ears on Fire • SOLD


Jackrabbit ears must be as thin as paper because when the sun shines through them they look like they're on fire. This painting is available in my Etsy shop.

Collector Comment

 
Love this collector : )

I picked this package up at the post office with great anticipation but, with great restraint, decided to wait until I got home to open it. As I was slowly heading up the driveway at dusk, I came upon a half dozen deer, does and young from this past year. They just stood there and watched me, only a stone's throw away. I had this painting in my mind as I studied them, and was even more eager to open the package when I got in the front door. What an amazing work of art was in my hands. Pam has an incredible gift in her ability to capture the nature of these creatures. I look at this painting and get the sense that this doe and fawn are watching me but could bolt any second, disappearing in a flash. I am so lucky to have this and will treasure it always. Thank you Pam.

Deer and Aspen - SOLD


My husband and I visited the North Rim of Grand Canyon last September. The road in is surrounded my large meadows with aspen groves. The deer graze close to the aspens so they can run for cover if they need to. This is one of many we saw. This painting is available in my Etsy shop. Click here to see it and my other paintings/prints.

Dear and Fawn - SOLD


On our way to the Grand Canyon North Rim in September, Rich and I drove through Pagosa Springs, CO where I spotted some deer in a farmer's field and yelled, Stop! Rich is used to this and doesn't freak out when I say it. He knows what's going on. So we turned around. By the time we got to the deer they were walking into the woods just as the sun was going down. I started taking pictures and they kept looking at this strange person following them. Not camera shy at all. This is a 6 x 6 oil on canvas panel available in my Etsy shop. Click here to view my shop.

Fawns in Shadow


Rich and I took a trip to the north rim of the Grand Canyon in September. We drove through Pagosa Springs, CO and saw some deer grazing in a farmer's field. We did a U-turn and drove down a road to get closer. At that point the deer were heading for the woods because the sun was going down. I followed a deer and two fawns with my camera in hand. The light was almost horizontal at that point — just beautiful. I'm entering this painting in a local juried show so it's not for sale. The grass was the hardest for me to figure out. I'm not even sure I'm done. Sometimes it's best to stop and stare for a while.
