This is one of my favorite paintings and it is going to a fine home. This watercolor was done with an interesting technique known as pouring.

Penitente Midnight Meeting
As my friend Starr says "All things are connected". I was asked to help the Sangre de Cristo Hospice & Palliative Care to get an Artist of the Month program started. In the last 4 months I have had 4 very dear friends that have had to use their services. The Sangre de Christo Hospice is a non profit organization that relies on charitable support to provide its programs & services. Besides Hospice care they also provide pain & symptom control, respite care, spiritual care & pet peace of mind. So if you have a chance get a cup of coffee from Starbucks and stop in the Estate Store a division of the Sangre de Cristo Hospice.

A Brief History of the Beckwith Ranch:
The Beckwith Ranch, established in 1874 by brothers Elton and Edwin Beckwith, was at its peak one of the largest cattle operations in Colorado. Sons of a wealthy shipbuilder from Mount Desert Island, Maine, Elton and Edwin brought cattle from Texas in 1869 for the miners in Colorado with Charles Goodnight, one of the legendary founders of the western cattle industry.
