For Acequia Madre I, I stood in this dry arroyo painting en plein air in the hot sun surrounded by desert plants and a vista extending sixty miles. Painting outdoors is difficult as the earth spins, colors and shadows shift requiring touch ups at home. Purists say my original cannot then be considered "en plein air". Humbug.
I loved the sold original so much, I decided to paint the scene again in the comfort of my studio changing it somewhat. This is a favorite NM painting of mine.
