oil on panel, 6" x 6"
This little abstract palette knife painting is from a few months back; I just never got around to posting it. There are more than a few others in my inventory that have met that fate. This painting was inspired by the colors of New Mexico in October, like the rich red of chili peppers you see hanging everywhere in clusters, along with the warm yellow of drying chamisa amongst the cool green sage out on the mesa. And then there's the snow. It snowed here in Arroyo Seco on Halloween night, and my backyard has been carpeted in snow ever since. It snowed again last night. Everything's white.
