"Arroyo"




"Arroyo"
9" x 12"
Pastel

This pastel has gone through various changes as I look at it with new eyes. This is an area in Baja CA Sur, just south of San Jose del Cabo. It is used as a road when what rain they get hasn't flooded it. The sun and heat are intense there and the colors have a tendency of washing out. It has been a challenging painting.

This painting is matted and framed and is $150.00 plus shipping and handling. You may e-mail me at smyliemp@gmail.com for more information or use PayPal to purchase.

This sweet summer painting began as a plein air painting at Brunner Farmhouse in Broomfield, CO, and finished in the studio. The weather was hot, hot, hot, but luckily, I found a shady spot from which to paint. The flowers, however, were loving the heat of the Colorado summer!
