WindmillAcrylic on canvas, 12 x 12 inches
A couple of snapshots to show the sides. It can be hung as is or you can add a frame if you want. It would look good on an adobe wall or wooden panels, don't you think? The name is not interesting, any ideas out there?
I will be sending it along with the saguaro painting, Reaching for the Sky, to Peppers Gallery in Magdalena, New Mexico, early next week. You can stop in and see them in person and say hi to Marky or Wendy. Peppers Gallery is full of original art, pottery, Navajo blankets, and jewelry. More than fifty local artists represented there.
These photos are inside Peppers which is an old adobe house. Perfect for the area and the contents.

Nice to see the inside of the shop. Lovely painting. Looks like it is "Catching the Wind".
Hola, Jo. The windmill painting is quite nice...for some reason "Lone Sentinel" comes to mind. The gallery looks like a place I could spend all day snooping. Oh, and you have been chosen to receive an Art Blog Award. Drop by to pick it up.
Jeanne, hi there. Thank you. Peppers is a great place to look around, always something new. I like the name. The windmill is tied off, the tail is pulled against the blades, so it isn't turning and pumping. Hmmm.
James, Hola! Thanks for the award. It will take some time to look around your blogs and website, too, not unlike Peppers. You live in a beautiful place.
Nice painting!

Jo - Nice job on this!!! I like the composition and color a lot!!!
Rachete, thank you so much for stopping by and commenting.
Joan, Appreciate it. Windmills are a little like sunsets, I have to take photos and paint. :)
It's beautiful Jo! I love how it wraps around the sides.
You know that I love watercolor canvas but I also use acrylic on it. The only time I use watercolor is in the background or in final light layers. I've always had the same problem with watercolor pulling up layers.
I like James idea of "Lone Sentinel."
Just lovely Jo :)
Jo: That was a fun paiting of the windmill.
I'm going to post about the trip to Bastrop later today.
Jo, the painting is lovely! It would look nice hanging on my wall. hint, hint :)
Hi Kasie, thanks for the info. I knew someone had been using the watercolor canvas. I'm leaning to that name, too.
Belinda, thank you. :)
fishing guy, thank you, too. I will check your blog later.
Found you by way of "fishing guy." Windmills are original energy source, and something we may be trying to harness more of, not to mention that the farm-scale ones are always so scenic.
Robert, thanks for stopping by, Had a great time with fishing guy and enjoyed visiting your blog in return.
Windmills are great. One place I looked for a painting name called these farm/western ones, windpumps instead and I guess that makes sense.
Trying to Catch the Wind or Failing to Catch the Wind. LOL just kidding.
JeanneG, I thought of those, too. Heh, heh. Thanks for thinking of me.
I love your windmill, Jo - it looks great and the wrap around the sides is very well done!
Thank you, Regina. It was the first time I have tried that type canvas.
