Sunset Reflections
8x8in oil on canvas panel SOLD
The Rio Grande River is the main source of water
for the beautiful Mesilla Valley, NM, where I live.
Many irrigation ditches divert the water to
the small farms which grow
chilies, onions, cotton, pecans,
corn and yes...even wine.
The sunsets here are gorgeous, making even the
oldest farms beautiful in their glow.
Artist Note.
Mission:
Create a sense of place without detail.
Simple, abstract shapes and color
were formed using palette knife and brush.
I love this piece Julie xxx

DeleteYour glass jug is really beautiful.
Warm colors at sunset, one of the most beautiful moments,
ReplyDeleteof river areas, among vineyards and fields ... a state of mind and a state of the world around us, painted with expressive synthesis, from you,as a Japanese Haiku.
Hello and thanks, dear Rita. Color is something you excel with. I love this comment. Thank you.
DeleteSo absolutely stunning, Julie! I love the reflection of the sunset in the water; the colors are just phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous - especially while you are down. Thank you Sherry.

ReplyDeleteThanks Libby. So neat to see your new experiments with paint. Really striking work.
DeleteTakes my breath away, Julie. Definitely a sense of place...the radiance of the sun on the rooftops and on the banks of the river highlights, but doesn't delineate (details) the scene. New Mexico skies and light truly are unique and stunning.

DeleteSmall touches of color make this painting. Beautiful Julie.
