Then and Now
Pastel on Pastelbord, 16 x 12 inches
I will have this painting for sale here in Angel Fire at Arts About Town on September 4, see sidebar near top of my blog. It is also on my website and can be purchased through Paypal. $315.00, free shipping.
The antennas at the VLA west of Magdalena are very large and very interesting. If you get a chance you can visit and have a tour. They are just off Highway 60 between Magdalena and Datil, New Mexico.
Speaking of Magdalena, where Gene and I grew up, we are going to Tierra Amarilla tomorrow to a 6 man football game between the Magdalena Steers and the Escalante Lobos. It will be our first high school football game. When we were in high school there were not enough students to field either a football or baseball team. There was only basketball.
Tierra Amarilla is about 100 miles from here and the drive will be through beautiful canyons. I will get some photos. In the meantime you can see some from last year on our trip to Colorado and back through Chama to here here on my Picasa page.

We certainly have had to adapt to technology have'nt we? And of course, even more so I think, do animals.
Your painting captures that sense you, good job.

Beautiful sky Jo. Very well arranged and subtle except for the cows which pops right out. Beautifully done.!! I worked on pastelbord for the first time on one of my paintings and liked the way it looked but I had it professionally framed since I had problems with doing it myself.
Hi Rae, thank you so much.
hmuxo, thank you, too. We frame pastels on Pastelbord right agains the glass. Gene tapes it all around with artists tape and then puts it in the frame and tapes that as well. Some artists use spacers and I have done that as well. I like pastels against the glass as then there is no dust to get the glass dirty. With museum glass you barely see the glass. I have been doing it about 8 years. If the glass breaks the risk of damage to the painting is about the same as with a mat or spacers I think. The largest we framed was 18 x 24 inches.
