This scene was painted from a photo I took in Taos at Christmas. We rented a house out of town with our extended family. Several mornings we went for a walk along the gravel road, trouping along with a couple of dogs.
The dogs were so funny running out into the trees and then back to their humans to touch base, then running out again. They covered twice as much ground as we did, and I think they probably enjoyed it twice as much. So many exciting smells!
This scene was on a cloudy day, and the light was very flat. I loved the mistiness over the mountains. And again I was amazed at how much color there was in the winter grasses and shrubbery.
Thanks for stopping by!
