On Wednesday, I took a drive on Highway 6, southwest of Albuquerque. The highway is a remnant of old Route 66 and offers views of open, grassy, high desert, punctuated with the occasional land feature. Lighting is what makes this land interesting. Add clouds, sunlight and shadow to what might otherwise be the same as what was seen five miles back and you have a spectacular subject. The clouds and light take the main stage in this painting, with juniper trees and the mountain playing a supportive role.
