CALLECITA DE TESUQUE – 40″x40″ Work in Progress (Sketch)
Studio No. 214 – CALLECITA DE TESUQUE, 40″x40″ Work in Progress – Sketch in Prussian Blue and Burnt Sienna. It is my habit to have six or seven paintings blocked in at a time — each morning I work on the one that calls “Paint ME!”
WINTERLIGHT – 48″x36″ Work in Progress – Glaze
Studio No. 214 – WINTERLIGHT – 48″x36″ Work in Progress. Glazes. Hoping this painting will have the feeling of late afternoon light. Decided to thin Payne’s Grey with painting medium (not turpentine) and cover canvas. This is an experiment!
WINTERLIGHT (TESUQUE) – 48″x36″ Work in Progress – Underpainting
STUDIO NO. 214 – WINTERLIGHT (TESUQUE) – 48″x36″ Work in Progress – The underpainting – Turpentine and color mixed with Grumbacher MG Underpainting White.

UNA SENDA DESCONOCIDO – Exhibition-quality Archival Print
UNA SENDA DESCONOCIDO (A Path Unknown) – Click here for the High Road Print Catalogue. Long, long ago, after moving to New Mexico, I discovered the mystery and fascination of back roads – some led to quiet pastures, and some to old churches, capillas, ghost towns– old crumbling buildings, broken fences — signs […]
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 […]
STUDIO WORK…..
Once or twice a year I order my paints, canvases and panels. As long as the gesso is mixed, it pays to build an inventory of supplies at the ready. If in the middle of a “work blockage” — don’t fight it — gesso canvases, build your source material with some field trips. Taking […]
PREPARING TO PAINT — GESSOING CANVAS
It is my habit to work on a “toned ground” – years ago I worked on a red ground and sometimes ochre. Then I found that a grey-blue background worked best for me — I mix the gesso (if necessary thin a little bit with water to a workable consistency) with Payne’s Grey and then […]
