Did this upside down from photo....like the brightness.
Frequently, as I paint (if not always) I'm reminded of one or many of the artists who have taught me so much....so, from time to time will 'thank' these gifted people. This piece I painted along with Charles Sovek from his PBS DVD "PLEIN AIR PAINTING"..........one of the many gems he passed along "remember if you paint like someone else you'll always be second best." His website......sovek.com.....is a wealth of wisdom and beautiful paintings! Thank you Mr Sovek.
two studies done outside today.....1 knife....1brush..perfect painting day ..........plus an extra photo that is sooooo NM !
About a mile from home....yellow/golds with blue skies just amazing! The mountains in background are a gorgeous magenta/ pink at sunset...thus their name 'Sandias' (watermelon mountains). I received lovely inspiring words from artist Kathryn Law......the (my) art spirit thrives on encouragement of others....thanks again Kathryn. She has a really fine workshop (with Ray Roberts) documented on her site........kathrynlaw.blogspot.com her "Sycamore" is a real 'wow' for me.
Corrales is a village just east of where I live.....it retains its 'village-ness' with adobe, cottonwoods and all sorts of native vegetation....always a pleasure to drive thru.....a real art minded community. I tried to limit my time on this painting and not overwork........am pleased with lots of it.
A quick acrylic study with very little 'fixin'. Hoping to build upon this approach in my painting.
This was done for fun and reminds me of rural New Mexico
Beautiful sunny day beside lavender fields.
Trying for 'Cape Cod' color using brush instead of knife......I like the result.
