WINTERLIGHT – 48″x36″ Work in Progress – Glaze

FIELDWORK 2014…….
Una Senda Desconocido (A Path Unknown) – For me all it takes is a good camera and my 20-year old pick-up truck – maybe a sandwich and some cookies! In every place I have lived and painted – Santa Fe, Truchas, Taos – there has been a period of excitement in the beginning and once […]
