- Title
- Diablo Canyon Morning Glow
- Size
- 18x24
- Price

Primarily palette knife after a wash-in. The color was pushed: Diablo Canyon is often a range of grey only. But the morning light can cause it to glow. This is a favorite venue near my home in Santa Fe far out on a rough dirt road. The area is still being filmed in westerns. It does feel like traveling back in time when visiting and painting this site. At the Marigold Arts Gallery.

- Size

Painted "en plein air" one early morning far out on the Monastery Road at an Oxbow on the Chama River.

This road is well worth visiting the the continuous most specagular cliffs and rock formations in new Mexico. An amazing place and river. Inquiries: karen.halbert@gmail.com.
