Close to home

I am finding it increasingly difficult to get away to paint during this summer and I know I am not alone. Coni said that she seems to be rather tied down as well- I had planned a couple of weeks ago to take off towards the Alamosa River Canyon but changed my mind and ended up at the 7 mile plaza. This view looks towards the south. It is a very early morning view and I would like to come back in the evening and paint another as I like the shadows better at that time of day.
