Chamisa

An aerial view of chamisa, a beautiful, fragrant shrub and a common sight in New Mexico.  It makes for a fun color study.

Pedernal with Cottonwoods

iPad painting, 10" x 10"

Here's a plein air digital sketch I did last fall, facing that famous Cerro Pedernal from Ghost Ranch, just west of Abiquiu in New Mexico.  My perspective was not far from the cottage that Georgia O'Keeffe rented with a direct view of Pedernal, so this would have been her view as well.
