 When I need a break, a getaway from the hustle and bustle

and I don't have a lot of time to take a long day trip, Jemez is the perfect place to go.

It's only 40 minutes from Albuquerque and some of the scenery is heart-stoppingly

beautiful. Red rocks, red cliff, unique formations. With a river running through it!

There is a pull off right next to the river that we like.

We'll pack a lunch, my cousin and I, and pull up, get out,

set up chairs, and have a picnic right next to the river.

Sometimes I will bring along my plein air gear and set up shop in my chair

and paint without moving. Those are the best times...

Doesn't matter what time of year, it's always beautiful.

Legacy Art painting

The Legacy Art event is happening in a couple of weeks and I need to decide on my subject for the painting and get it done so it will have time to dry. I decided to use this canvas, a 30x24, because I have some frames in that size that I love and need to use. I had already sketched a floral piece that I meant to paint with a red background but that will just have to wait for another day and another canvas.

 This is my block in. I decided on a peaceful mountain scene, with wildflowers roaming through a meadow. The purple could either be a shadowed pathway or possibly water.
You can still see evidence of the floral sketch underneath.

"PEACE NEAR  THE MOUNTAINS"

30X24"

This is not the final image. I shot it quickly with my digital but plan to have my photographer shoot it so I will have a good clear image for my records.

I like the way it turned out. I wouldn't mind taking a walk through this mountain meadow sometime. It would also make a nice image for a postcard.
