Pedernal



One last post from my recent trip to New Mexico.  I painted this watercolor of Pedernal, the mountain Georgia O'Keeffe loved so much and painted often.  The view is from Ghost Ranch and shows the brilliant spring greenery along what must be a stream in this desert landscape.  I did the oil painting below after an autumn visit to Ghost Ranch in 2009.  The view is much higher up--about half way up a steep climb to Chimney Rock.  New Mexico is amazing for its expansive landscape and big skies and painting there has been an absolute pleasure.
