Tonala-style Cat “Juanita”. Watercolor on paper. 9”x 8” (24cm x 21cm).
Lovely Juanita reminds us that all good things come with love. So true!

Tonala-style Cat “Missy”. Watercolor on paper. 12”x8” (30cm x 22cm).
Missy inspired my love of Tonala-style pottery and artwork. My parents bought the pottery version of Missy while on vacation in Mexico. She has graced the fireplace hearth ever since.
Holly Market. Watercolor on paper. 14″x9″
This cheerful market is located about a mile north of my home. Older neighborhoods in Denver once had these family run stores every couple miles and many have disappeared as neighborhoods change and gentrify. I love the brick exterior, the yellow color, and community notices.
Buoys on a Fence. Watercolor on paper. 13″x6″ (34cm x 16cm).
In land-locked Colorado you don’t expect to see buoys but here they were. Someone had strung these colorful buoys on their fence facing the alley. Ahoy there matey!
Alley Artifacts #9. Watercolor on paper. 7.5″x11″ (19cm x 29cm).
It’s Autumn and I see yellow and orange everywhere. So each of the images in this painting has some orange in it. Although the super cool custom van is slightly less fluorescent, it’s still a very bright, cheerful orange. As always each image is something I see while I’m walking around my Denver neighborhood.
Tonala-style Hummingbirds. Watercolor on paper. 12”x8” (30cm x 21cm). With a beautiful poem by Emily Dickenson.
“Fierce Lil Bibi” is my creative alter ego. I created this for a class to show what my “expressive wild” self looks like.
Tonala-style Dolphin, “Tomas”. Watercolor on paper. 12”x8” (30cm x 21cm).
Tonala-style Cat, “Pedro”. Watercolor on paper. 8”x6” (20cm x 15cm). The pottery original this is based on is a little different in design than most Tonala cats. I like how human his face looks and the overall design has a lot more going on (love the deer).
As Pedro says, “Love is at the root of all good things.”
