Original artwork description:

Soft forms and massing of traditional Santa Fe style architecture.

Another of the painting-a-day series of watercolors 12" x 16" image size with 16" x 20"mat, 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. Working in such a quick, expressive manner can be like playing a jazz riff,

Materials used:
