Pilar Afternoon


This is a view of the small church at Pilar from the water tower.  We started painting this view in the afternoon during the PAAC paint out and then a huge storm came up and blew us out of there- (Coni, David, and I).  So I just finished this using a photograph - I honestly wish that I could have finished this on the spot-- it's just a little too tight and studied. Maybe I had too much time to work on it? Maybe...

Plein Air paint out to support the Rio Grande Headwaters Trust

12x9
A Cloudy Day at the Wetlands

David Montgomery and I went painting yesterday, Coni had already cancelled and so it was just the two of us, David and I. It was cloudy - not that great of a day- but we set up our gear anyway. The wind came up and so I lost David- he was out of there. Then it was just me- but, the wind stopped the birds were singing and I finished my painting. I plan on painting some of the same type of scenery at the Rio Grande Headwaters paint out on Saturday so thought I would get a little practice.

Time:8:00am - 2:00pm
Location:Gilmore Ranch just east of Alamosa, CO


Come out this Saturday to support the Rio Grande Hradwaters Trust and the Artists.

It should be a great time!

The Morada

The first day of the Taos paint out, Coni and I decided to paint the Morada with the High Desert Painters. We wanted to also meet up with Kemper Coley so we all were to gather up at Wilder Nightingale and head on over. Kemper wasn't there so we set out on our own - three vehicles in a caravan and headed over to the Morada - there was one small issue- neither Coni or I could remember which street to turn onto from Kit Carson-- we ended up getting lost and Kemper, who was already at the church had to drive over and lead us in-- slightly embarrassing..

The weather was beautiful and although everything is way behind in Taos as far as budding out and blooming, it was still very beautiful. Ken Daggett was painting in this great spot along a rode to the north - Kemper and I set up on the same road.

This is the view I got -- I had painted this earlier in the winter from the west- check it out-
