No Sketch

Yesterday, we stopped off in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, to visit friends and play a little golf. Gen said they were having a plein air paint out this morning at 7:00 a.m. so we had to stay. We left the house about 630 to arrive at Elephant Butte for the sunrise. Gorgeous morning. I did a sketch across the lake but I failed to take a snapshot of the sketch, so will post it tomorrow. Consolation is a photo of Gen and some of the other artists. About 10 artists attended.



Pretty good considering it was a big art weekend with many openings and exhibits. A Sierra County weekend of art.

Also a photo of the view across the lake that I attempted with watercolors.


I did not anticipate painting when we left Silver City, so only had watercolors and colored pencils along with my sketchbook and pens. It was my second attempt at plein air with watercolors. I am just not experienced enough yet with watercolors for quick work. I will not be posting the result!

Check back for the apples finish and the sketch for today.
