Under Painting

This is the underpainting for a Studio version of "Ranchers Gate".I first captured (I hope) this powerful scene just outside Ouray Colorado, on a September morning, during a www.pleiairsouthwest.com paintout. Please check back later ,as I will be posting additional pictures as the painting progresses.

Alamogordo Alley

O.k. Im not the first to paint an alley, but this one, I felt was asking for it. The folks coming out of the landromat i was standing next to seemed confused-go figure

Hill top - Ruidoso

11x14 oil/linenIt was just the vast scale of this view, and the play of light on the foreground and background that made me respond to this vista...no bears so far !

Tule Horse Farm

Just on the edge of town there are many pastures for the horses to graze. Alphalfa-delicious !

Untitled

11x14 oil/ panelI believe this guy is a cattle watering contraption of some sort?

Any how, it made for a wonderful three hours of painting! If anyone thinks they know what it is-let me know please.

The Agua'tica - Tularosa

As part of the watershed program of New Mexico, the Agua'ticas make up the small water channels that run through the neighborhood, providing irrigation to all.
