| The Last Snow - 9x12 Oil - Available |
As many of you reading this blog know, last year I started to teach private, one-on-one plein air painting intensives at my studio in New Mexico. I just finished the first week of the Spring 2019 season, and I thought I'd share some images with you. (The paintings are mine.)
 |
| Here's my setup for "Where the Mountain Lion Hunts." I have yet to see a mountain lion on that ridge. Not to worry, as we are safe where we are painting. |
 |
| On our final day, we took a break and joined a Zuni guide for a hike up Pierced Rock. You can see the "piercing," that is, the window, created in the sandstone by the wind. |
Our guest this week was from Great Britain (we made sure to have some good Yorkshire Gold tea on hand for her), and we had a very productive time. The weather was near-perfect, though we did wake up one morning to find a crust of snow on everything. Real plein air painters, of course, aren't discouraged by a little snow, so we geared up and went out to paint it before the early spring sun melted it.
If you are interested in this program, I have posted my schedule for Fall 2019 season here: http://www.paintthesouthwest.com/sched_int.html. The price includes lodging and meals, in addition to tuition. The program is completely customized to the individual's needs. And, since these are one-on-one, the weeks fill quickly! I'll soon be posting the Spring 2020 weeks.
