CORRALES WINERY BLUE

CORRALES WINERY BLUE

Gate to No Where

I started painting this gate by 8:15 AM, on a typical intensely bright sunny New Mexican day.
All week I painted in Corrales, NM en plein air for the
Corrales Plein Air Event.

It was intense....
daily hauling equipment
dealing with an umbrella that had a mind of its own
Yet I promise you....
in NM you either use an umbrella or find a shady place in which to paint.


Yet it was a fun week filled with meeting other artists
working with Sue Winstead, a most talented coordinator
attending meetings and events

blocking in the underpainting with transparent colors

Umbrella working fine but later did the Mary Poppins thing

"Corrales Winery Blue"
12x12, framed, oil on gessobord
SOLD

    1. The owner's wife came out to visit with me while painting and she decided to buy it at the time, when I hadn't even finished it yet. I was blessed! Yay.

  4. Hi Carol. You have such a way of capturing charm in your art. I just love all the atmosphere you paint. Painting outside is a challenge, but I know it's inspiring to be out there.

    Thank you so much for always visiting my blog and leaving such nice comments. I really appreciate it.

    Have a great weekend!
