Autumn In New Mexico

June 8, 2011 - 30" x 40" acrylic on canvas


As I promised, the large landscape I was working on is complete (until I hear what's wrong with it.)  The photo that served as a model for this painting was taken by my sister's sister-in-law (or my brother-in-law's sister).  How about we just say Cindy?  Thanks Cindy!

I only tried one thing really new here and that's the sky.  I used Golden's open acrylics (which dry almost as slowly as oils) which allowed me to blend, from darker at the highest point to lighter below, more evenly.

Similar to other paintings I used very few paints.  Only pthalo blue, green shade; cad red; cad yellow; and titanium white, for everything except the sky and clouds (titanium white; cobalt blue; cerulean and cad red).
