STUDIO NEWZ:  The image for this painting was taken last fall on the Rio Chama.  Am thinking of doing a larger painting from this study.  Began work on a new book recently - have designed the cover for ON THE ROAD: Paintings of New Mexico - hope to have it completed sometime late next year.  It will cover new paintings from 2010 thru 2012. FYI -  Saw a great documentary "THE CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS" by Werner Herzog.  In 1994 some hikers in France discovered a cave with magnificent wall paintings of prehistoric animals.  Later the cave was carbon dated and thought to be 30,000/40,000 years old!  It is called Chauvet cave after one of the hikers.  They even found bone flutes that still can play music.  The joy of Neanderthal art and music!  PROSPERO ANO NUEVO A TODOS!  - Best regards, Donna
