This was started on location in Mesilla, a lovely historical town near
Las Cruces. It was finished in the studio at 8 PM after our company left.
A long, but happy day.

Mesilla Irrigation Ditch



Mesilla Irrigation Ditch

6x8in oil on canvas 100.


Mesilla is a beautiful and historic small town in southern New Mexico and only a 20 minute drive from where I live in Las Cruces. There are many, many fabulous places for an artist to paint here.
I did this piece before I left for Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

This morning I am in Albuquerque and I painted an old adobe directly across from my friends, Pam and Steve's house where I am staying. I will post the painting tomorrow.
