Eagle Nest — SOLD


This oil painting was created during a demonstration for the Art In The Parks Show on Dec. 8. The demonstration featured pastel painter Lee McVey and me, as we painted the same subject from a photo simultaneously. It made for an interesting presentation and showed our different approaches to painting. The painting, as it appears here, is at a more advanced stage of completeness than it was at the end of the demonstration. My painting, "Along The Pecos," shown below, was awarded Best of Show in the exhibition, which was the first of what is to be an annual event, sponsored by Plein Air Painters of New Mexico and New Mexico State Parks. Proceeds from sales are donated to Friends of the Parks.

Tom, Your painting turned out well. I haven't done any more to my demo piece. It remains in the state of almost done.
