Original artwork description:

Rio Grande river near Hatch in southern New Mexico that provides water for the chili.
Original watercolor on paper, image size 10" x 12" 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.

Materials used:

watercolor and arches paper
