Thinking of New Mexico

As the fires threaten communities in New Mexico and Colorado, I thought of the river flowing on the way to Taos.  I am working from a series of rough sketches to loosen up a bit and this one is from photos I have taken and a remembered image between Santa Fe and Taos.

Upstream

 Thinking of all the people near the Frijoles fire and hoping it is contained soon.  This is from past trips along the river heading to Taos after visiting Chimayo for chile.

Revisions

I just can't help making changes to a painting that I was never completely happy with. If it hangs around the studio long enough it will be revisited....

Cruising Cumberland Island

 We recently took the "pirate cruise" with friends around the Amelia River and the creeks of Cumberland Island.  It was a bit overcast and we just beat the thunderstorm back to town.  This painting is from references I took that stormy evening before the real clouds rolled in.
