Star Struck
Santa Fe Sky Scape
I just took a trip to beautiful Santa Fe NM where this dramatic skyscape was just begging to be painted so I indulged my desires as soon as I got home and had a paintbrush in my hand. Fortunately I had a camera with me though sadly I did not have my paints on the trip. What was I thinking? I tried something new as the drama and brilliance of the color called for a new approach. I used mixed media applying an orange almost iridescent water based pigment before I laid in the darks with oil and worked in my usual way. It’s a 24X36 and went very quickly. Please tell me what you think.
