"Winter Blues" SOLD

It's been below zero here for the past few nights and still getting dark way too early so some people might have a case of the winter blues...not me...the winter blues I'm referring to here are the beautiful colors of blue in the snow shadows!

"The Girls"

I wanted to share this picture - my Thursday painting group meets at my house now that it's too cold to paint outside.  From left to right we have Pat, Barbara, Peggy, me and Marianne.  We had just had a holiday get together at the Taos Inn.

"Passing Storm"

I posted this one before but wanted to post it again since I did a little more work on it and am calling it done.

"Storm Passing"

This little painting is on my easel - just started today - it's the result of a "happy accident".
It was the starting of the next painting you'll see but I wasn't happy with the blue ground color for a fall painting.  So I ditched it and started another canvas...a friend saw this one and thought it would work as a winter scene - so I'm going for it - I'll post it again when it's done.

"A Change of Seasons"

When summer is winding down and fall is on the way there's about a week (maybe two) when the chamisa is in full bloom and just screaming to be painted - this old church is just north of Taos in Arroyo Seco.

"Valdito Summer"

This little painting came to me very quickly and was so much fun to do.  It's framed and hanging in the Student's show Rich is having at his studio/gallery.

"Drifted Snow"

More snow!!  I painted this one on the day before Thanksgiving in my class...somehow it reminded me of the song "Over the River and through the Woods to Grandmother's House we go!!
