Hello everyone! I am a brand new member and this is my first post. This painting is a departure for me for many reasons. First of all, I usually have a source photograph that I use when painting landscapes. This time I just drew a sketch and decided on my color palette and let the paint fly. I also used a palette knife which I have only done a few times. I really love using the palette knife because it forces my to paint "looser" which is a goal of mine. Lastly, it is as large a piece as I have ever done. I love the freedom that a large canvas affords. This piece is inspired by my frequent trips to New Mexico. My colors are exaggerated, but this, for me, captures the beautiful vivid colors that New Mexico brings to mind. Thank you for looking at my work and thanks to all for including me in this organization. I am honored to be a part of it.
