Bridge of Winter's Peaceful Mirror a 16x16 canvas that invites you into a serene winter landscape. This piece captures the tranquility of a snow-covered scene, where a brick bridge stands elegantly among tall, dark trees. The gentle arches of the bridge, dusted with snow, guide the eye towards a narrow stream in the foreground, reflecting the soothing colors of its surroundings. The palette of cool blues, grays, and earthy tones beautifully conveys the chilly yet calming atmosphere of a winter day. This painting was inspired by the quiet beauty and reflective quality of winter landscapes, and I thoroughly enjoyed the process of bringing this vision to life. I hope it offers you a moment of peace and appreciation for the serene beauty of winter.

I'm excited to share my latest piece, "Guadalupe River," a 9x12 oil painting on canvas panel. This vibrant landscape captures the serene beauty of the river, flanked by towering, colorful autumnal trees in shades of red, orange, and green. These trees stand majestically next to a rocky cliff, overlooking the calm water that perfectly mirrors the vivid reflections of the scenery and the soft blue sky. This painting emerged from a deep appreciation for the Guadalupe River's natural beauty, and translating that into a peaceful visual experience was a rewarding artistic journey. I hope this piece brings a sense of tranquility and admiration for nature’s splendor to all who view it.
