Santa Fe Gate

Santa Fe Gate

Artist Note.

I found this delightful gate

on a trip to Museum Hill in Santa Fe.

The property must be old because 

the trees were very tall. 

Fall color were glowing through here and there

and the yellow was like a spotlight on the lens

...way too bright,

so bright the camera had to be adjusted

so they didn't bleach out.

Then it was important to decide, 

was the gate the focus

...or the golden trees?

I hope the gate is noticed first.

Tricky!

6x8" oil on canvas panel $150. SOLD

Artist Note

This was painted from a 

watercolor sketch.

which was very loosey-goosey

because it was such a fast rise. 

I tried to take my mind back to 

the actual time but it has been a few years.

Oh well...I enjoyed painting it

and that is the important thing...right?

A truly impressionist painting.

I obviously love the aspen tree

and my favorite way to capture them

 is to use this impressionistic 

use of colors.

I just had a three-day weekend trip

to see a friend. 

We are birthday buddies.

They fall on the same week

and throughout the many years

of our friendship, we make time

to enjoy a few days together

during the month of November,

 and we go shopping.

She picks her present and I pay, 

and I pick mine, and she pays!

It is quite wonderful.

Its pansy Time Again!

The pansies are back

and I have planted them in pots

on our balcony.

Such a happy flower. 

They make me happy

thru the wintertime.

Anyone else like them?
