The day after painting at Ghost Ranch my car was still in the repair shop so my painting partner and I took off again to paint, driving just a few miles South of Santa Fe where there's a small area full of unusual rock formations. Both Nancy and I choose to paint this one. My challenge was to simplify in order to catch the essence of the "flow" of the rocks...not so easy! I like this painting yet feel as though it's a bit flat in that I really didn't capture the light right (it was a hazy day)...maybe this need to be painted again?
