Even past their prime, they are still beautiful.
Peonies
Another early influence
A recently completed portrait clearly shows the influence of which famous 20th century artist? Lancelot is offering a personal, signed self portrait to the first person to email Hazel with the correct answer.
The Cubist phase
After a five hour delay on the flight back from Chicago last week Lancelot was feeling distinctly put out and unpleasantly cuboid.
Lancelot and Modern Art

Even though we have been back from Santa Fe for just over two weeks I am still under the spell of New Mexico. One day we drove to Taos and stopped along the high road on the way back to Santa Fe, photographing some of the churches. I look at my photographs and wish I were still there, in the sunshine and the history.
Looking forward to Summer
Acrylic on Canvas, 24" x 30". Study for my Landscape class on painting "big" not that this is so big but when the class is only 2 hours long, one has to limit oneself somehow. The painting is based on a photograph taken by the husband of one of my students. Thank you, Bruce. It is titled "A conversational group of gulls discuss the stock market that day."

Another view of Tent Rocks. So, we finally made it to the top. Coming down was so much easier.... Note: this was not painted on site. Instead it was painted in the comfort of a hotel room as I do not like heights.... Even if this was only 630 steps approximately, it looked like a lot more.
