It’s Jan 2007 and I finally finished this painting. It has more depth and detail.

Painting the everc-hanging Abiquiu Lake made this work a challenge. The spontaneity of yesterday’s work did not present itself today. It might be worth starting over.

I had meant to paint Padernal, the mountain God gave to Georgia O’Keefe because she painted it so often. But, the weather turned windy and my attitude waned.

We walked along the river to take more photos and found locations for future painting.

The heat and wind drys the paints so quickly it is hard to blend. This climate requires oils to alleviate this problem. Alas, I can’t keep large oil paintings in the RV due to the fumes and lack of space for drying.
