FALL IN NEW MEXICO


FALL IN NEW MEXICO - OIL ON PANEL - 12" X 9"

I went up to the mountains as soon as I thought there would be color.  I went with two friends, all of us plein air painters and studio painters.  It is always fun to get out in the fresh air.  It was cold.  I was under a tree to give shade to my palette and panel.  I have a hard time understanding the color if my palette and panel are lit up.  I just can't see anything!  I chose this scene because it was simple.  It is hard to get all that amazing color and foliage into one little rectangle but I think I made a good effort.
