Galisteo Mailboxes
8x6in oil on canvas 100.
When I was on my painting trip to the Santa Fe area we drove to Galisteo, a beautiful small village outside Santa Fe. Judging from these colorful mailboxes quite a few artists live there.
It is quite a juxtaposition - the earth color of the adobe and the brightly painted boxes. My favorite was the blue one. You cannot tell from the painting but they had painted a big rain cloud with drops descending. Wishful thinking here in the desert.
This was painted from a photograph as there was nowhere to set up and paint except on the road. I have a close up painting of the boxes and will post it tomorrow.
Just love this piece. Love all of the color!
