AUTUMN FIELDS - SOLD

"AUTUMN FIELDS" (Valdez, N.M.)--SOLD
28"x22" Completed Original Oil on Belgian Linen
Framed in Gold with Linen Liner

26 October 2008 -- Had a great time with this painting and all the while I sat at the easel, I had the feeling I was just holding the brush -- that the canvas almost painted itself! When I gathered the material for this piece, I stood high above the valley on the Rim Road -- and somehow when I look at this painting I have the feeling that I am "floating above" the landscape. Have decided that this completed canvas will be the "study" for a 48"x36" canvas. ENJOY! -- DC

YELLOW MUMS - Underpainting

14 October 2008 --YELLOW MUMS --28"x22" Oil on Belgian Linen. Here is the first underpainting of my winter work. It's raining today -- chilly, cold -- know it's snowing on Taos Mountain.....Just thought I'd start out with something bright and cheerful. The colors are mixed with fast-drying Foundation White -- highlights on the flowers - Cadmium Yellow Light, then Cad. Yellow Medium - down to Ochre and then a dirty brush mixed with Diox. Purple. The background is Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre and Cobalt Blue. This canvas will have to dry for about ten days before I can work into it with the glazes. Stay tuned! -- DC
