For the last demonstration of the studio tour I chose to paint a view I saw daily in New Mexico and painted repeatedly. Not too many watched me for this one which was lucky, I was lost for a long time.
I mentioned it to some of my visitors and another time on this blog but I`ll announce it again. In lieu of teaching, I`m going to be having a demonstration/conversation in my studio on the second Saturday of the month at 10 am. I do have technical information I`d be happy to share and opinions aplenty. If you`d like to see how I do things, come on by. The first is Saturday Nov. 8.

Here are more paintings of this view from different vantage points.
And a hero of mine, George Bellows, painted it too nearly a hundred years ago. His visionary late landscapes are some of the most feverish and emotional I`ve ever seen. They give me chills!
All of his work can be seen here.

Well, if that is the result of being lost for awhile, sign me up:)
What a great view and a wonderful set of renditions. I particularly like that last one. (They are all dramatic but that one stood out.)
Thank you for the link for George Bellows. I was only familiar with his fight scenes I guess and so missed his landscapes. His seascapes and water scenes in particular are really something. They are alive and active in a really good way.
What gorgeous paintings! I would have been right at your shoulder, seeing what you were doing every step of the way - you'd have had to push me out of the way or, like a surgeon, say, "Hand me that number 8 round, stat!" ha ha
