Taos Gorge is one of New Mexico's iconic landmarks. The inspiration for this series of paintings came from a plein air piece painted during a storm. The lighting was unusual, leading to many possibilities for capturing this scene. This version is based on two smaller paintings with golden rectangle proportions. At the Marigold Arts Gallery, 424 Canyon Road, Santa Fe, NM 87501

My intent: capture the unusual light and color in the dramatic White Place, a favorite of O'Keeffe. It is now the sacred home for an Islamic group, and so is difficult to paint "en plein air". I took many photographs on a beautiful day with sun and stormy clouds. and enjoy reliving the experience while painting.

Painted "en plein air" one early morning far out on the Monastery Road at an Oxbow on the Chama River. This is my favorite painting venue, worth the long, hard drive down a single lane washboard road. A painting friend had a flat tire but fortunately for her a monk came along and helped. This road is well worth visiting the the continuous most specagular cliffs and rock formations in new Mexico. An amazing place and river.
