Two new oil/cold wax paintings have been delivered to Karan Ruhlen Gallery on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, NM. 

Revisiting the sought-after “Chronos Series” from 2013, Martha has created a diptych on cradled panels. (Please visit the Oil/Cold Wax Gallery page for more pieces in this series.) An ongoing series, the concept of “time”, explores the sequential passage of time and its effects on our natural environment.

The artist has also finished a major oil/cold wax piece on canvas, measuring 74″ x 66″. White Village, Costa del Sol, was inspired by Martha’s recent travels to Malaga, Spain where she visited several of the famous white villages along the Mediterranean coast. In this large-scale painting, Martha has captured the colors, the unique light quality, the shapes and essence of the hillside coastal town.
