New Mexico Adobe


















New Mexico Adobe.

6x8in oil on canvas panel  $125.

The old Adobe buildings around the Santa Fe area
are a feast for the eyes of an artist. This one is near Nambe.

  2. I love the thickness and the structures of the paint in this one. I also love the composition and contrasts of the different areas. It is interesting to see how defined the areas is, and yet the colors and structures keep them together (if you know what I mean). That is why I leaning on giving "open acrylics" a real chance, to be able to work with the colors on the canvas. Normal acrylics dry so fast.

  10. I really love the glow in this one Julie. And I want to walk through that blue door. What would I find in there? Stunning...and should I ever get the privilege to visit NM, I will know what to look for because of the visions in my mind of your pretty paintings.
