The View, 11:33 am


The Sandia mountains in the middle of the day. This is a painting where I felt something "click". There were some bright highlights on the edges of the walls that were too thin to catch with a paintbrush. I loved the way the colored pencil grout looked in the tile paintings I did the other day, so I thought I'd try that for the highlights. I started out drawing the rooftops accurately, but I quickly got bored. I like the way it's an impression because that's what it feels like when I look out the window, like I'm looking at the mountains over a jumble of adobe rooftops.
