Sangre de Christo Mountains New Mexico- (Blood Of Christ)

[Aspenman]

10x20 painted on 246lb linen textured paper using a big brush and mostly palette knife .
SoHo HB Acrylics. The colors have been somewhat exaggerated - however depending on the time of day and the amount of sunshine, the colors are truely extraordinary! We lived in Santa Fe NM for 5 years and had a straight on view of the Sangre Mtns.

Many Thanks Jo!! I spent many hours up in the mountains painting plein air - it is the biggest thing I miss about NM - ( OH ) THE FOOD TOO!!!!

Hey, Aspen! Have you ever watched the videos by Richard Musgrave-Evans from Australia? I think you would enjoy those.
