River Series #3 "Gorge at Rio Pueblo"

My new favorite place to hike.  It's about a two mile walk to the rim of the gorge where you can look down
upon Pilar and the river below.  This is where the Rio Pueblo meets the Rio Grande, so there are actually
two gorges here.  It was too windy today to paint on location so I went anyway and took a bunch of
reference photos for my "river" series.. I painted this from one of those photos.

"River Series #2"

There is something about spring in Taos that draws me out of the house and down to the Rio Grande River.
As the snow melts and the river rises, people come to Taos to raft, fish and just "hang out".  I've decided to
do a series of paintings that will capture not only the river, but the willows along it's banks and the massive
rock formations that make up the actual "gorge".  Stay tuned.

"Late Summer Sunflowers"

This is actually a "work in progress" ...it's from a picture taken last year.  I started the painting a while back
and just recently decided to break it back out and finish it up.  In the late summer and early fall the
sunflowers are EVERYWHERE in Taos!!  Will finish soon and re-post when I do.
