Start of Ladrones painting



Today is hot ... temperature wise not as bad as the last few days, but humid and muggy. We golfed early trying to beat the heat. We went to Austin for Father's Day lunch/dinner and stopped by Jerry's Artarama and picked up some Kitty Wallis paper to replace the piece I ruined. And, a few other items. A couple of frames, one I don't like and will return. Gene cut my paper this morning and I started a painting of the Ladrones Mountains, the flats between Socorro and Magdalena, New Mexico, for my show on July 8. It is about 17 x 23 inches. May end up with a rainbow, there was a beauty that day, see if I can put in the light rain and the arco iris, would be a first. Anyway, here is the start.....

Later,
Jo

Hi Jo,

Lovely work here! I like The pots that look like "mothers carrying their babies" too, You'll like the Wallis paper go a head and do alcohol washes, or underpaint with watercolor or gouache you can't ruin Wallis paper it's tough as nails!
