A sunny warm day for January so i got together with Lina and Jane at the South overlook of the Gorge. Shari is still away in Kwaii getting married to Norbert and honeymooning.
If you are driving North to Taos from Albuquerque or Santa Fe, you come around a bend and this spectacular view is in front of you. There is a picnic spot and plenty of room to stop, so it is a busy area with people stopping to take photographs. We had several conversations with people who came over to see what we were doing.
I never get tired of painting this spot. it doesn't hurt that nearly every painting I have done from here has sold! The wind picked up as we were painting so not only did it feel colder, but painting out in the wind makes you feel crazy after a while. I was pleased with this one, particularly the different colours in the sky.
