Monday 19th November 2007 - Gorge

This sunny November morning, I met up with Jane to go paint the Gorge. This view still takes my breath away any time I approach Taos from the south.



It was a little windy as we set up to paint, we chose smaller canvasses so that they wouldn't act like sails and blow our easels over! I enjoyed laying out this composition on the widescreen style canvas board. I particularly enjoyed painting the big diagonal shapes of the clouds, the bushes in the foreground and the road that cuts across the plain and zig-zags into the gorge.

Gorge - 10 x 20" - oil on canvas - $600(unframed)
