This plein air painting was done during a paintout in Lincoln County, New Mexico. It was quite a contrast from the farmland I painted in Sonoma County, California just the week before. New Mexico is in the midst of a drought. I was told that as of the beginning of June, Lincoln County had received no measurable rain since last year. What attracted me to this subject was the perspective created by furrows in the field and the telephone poles. This, along with the strong value contrast between the light roof against the dark trees made the house the center of interest.

Very pretty. Not your typical New Mexico.
