What a great day!
I met up with Shari for lunch and then we loaded her easel into my big old painter's car ('92 Ford Taurus Station Wagon) and headed south, hoping to find that the temperature was a little warmer down the hill. We had to stop in at the art supply store as i had broken my turpentine pot on Wednesday and needed another.
We ran into all kinds of painter friends at the store, including Kemper Coley. Her was just going to spend the afternoon priming up canvas and masonite boards but he had his paints with him and we talked him into coming with us. He loaded his gear into my car and off we went.
We chose this spot on the Rio Grande just west of Pilar. We were quite close to the road but there weren't many people out that day. It was a little warmer than up in Taos and we were able to paint long enough to each get some good work done.
Here is a picture of the lovely Shari in action and also one of Kemper demonstrating the 'swordfighting' painter stance - hold you brush at the very end, stand back from your painting and stretch.
