Horizon Revisited

Something about the dust in the air makes the New Mexican sky unique and spectacular.
This is my third and largest sunset so far.  I approached all three by blocking in with acrylic then painting the detail in oil.  These move away from my Horizon series in that there is more realism and movement.

Loosening up in the Vineyard

This is a work in progress.  The background is a collage of vegetable photos. I then painted in the Bookcliffs and rows of vines in a very loose hand, in acrylic.  May finish up with a matte coating.

 

The second version is the same loose hand using oil on paper.  Just playing.
