This is a painting of my favorite Mexican restaurant that I've been going to for 35 years. They specialize in green corn tamales and they are such a special treat! There aren't many restaurants in the United States that make green corn tamales and Lerua's  makes the best!

Here are poppies, larkspur and roses from my garden this spring. The poppies and larkspur reseed every year and surprise me with their color.
These cactus flowers bloomed last month. I'm doing a series of flower paintings. They are all so different and beautiful.

Well, it's been a while. Here's a new painting. These are poppies growing next to the woods by my little old school house in East Aurora. I think they may have been originally planted by the students at the school that was built around 1880.

Well, It's been a while since I've painted, but I've jumped back in and here's Chapo.
