MADRUGADA DE PICURIS - 48"x48" Work in Progress


"MADRUGADA DE PICURIS" - Underpainting
48"x48" Orig. Oil on Fine Belgian Linen

7/23/08 -- It seems as though I have been staring at this underpainting for months, perhaps longer. These trees are on Picuris Pueblo land at the turn off to Truchas. They've always symbolized something really peaceful and solid for me.....I guess I've hesitated because I hope so much to do them justice. Have been working on the glazes for a week or two and will post them as soon as this second phase of the painting is complete. DC
