Original artwork description:

An acequia is an irrigation ditch from the Spanish Colonial period in New Mexico carrying scarce water from the rivers to the fields.
Original watercolor on paper, image size 20" x 14", matted and ready to frame.

Open skies, storms coming in, sweeping vistas, mountains and grasslands all call for broad strokes and bold light and shadows. I strive for an economy of color and execution that can bring a landscape to life. If I can capture the shadows, forms, space at a given moment with the flow of line and color, then I can start to feel that I have succeeded.
