Los Ranchos de Taos Church - Landscape, Oil Painting

My friend Sue Modrak was here for a week and we did some plein air and studio painting.  It was a whirlwind or marathon painting time.  Lots of fun.  Sue wanted to try the water mixable oils so we broke them open and this is the result.  I painted this on cradled Gessobord.  The paint is not thick so the canvas look of the boards shows through.  I like that sometimes.  The painting is ready to be hung without framing. 

Shadow Side, Oil on cradled Gessobord, 6 x 6 inches


The edges are painted New Mexican Blue to keep the southwest flavor going.  They are not varnished.  The paintings will hold up better if varnished in a few weeks.  They are $75.00 each or you can buy the pair for $135.00.

Shadow Side - $75.00
