New August Paintings

Here are three of the six paintings I've been working on over the last few days. I'll post the other three maybe tomorrow. These are all relatively small oils, and will sell for around $300 a piece ... I hope.

"Sandia Moon" and "Morada" use a more dynamic use of pigment and brush. I think these will be popular with the folks who stop by the studio.

"Christmas Casita" is much more restrained, and I've deliberately down played the colors. Note the little Christmas Tree in the window that mirrors the larger pines around the house. Snow scenes seem popular here, and there is an exhibit in late September that has Autumn as a motif. RGAA will also have a small members only exhibition during the holiday shopping season.

An earlier painting of the reddened Sandias is sold ($250) and is awaiting pickup later this week. Today, a woman visiting from New York said she'll return to buy "Above the Rio Grande" for $350, and a salesman from up the street is trying to decide which of several paintings he'll might buy for $350-$500. A whole lot of promise, but not much cash in hand just yet. Oh well ...........
