When I saw the glorious color in my photographs taken near Santa Fe, NM last October, I couldn’t resist. The light was amazing, the mountains beyond were an ethereal blue hue and the oranges and yellows of the cottonwood trees stood out in the slightly cloudy light. The entire valley was ablaze with orange and yellow and I knew I wanted to create a painting that reflected that remarkable day.
