Description
During a painting retreat just outside the city of Santa Fe, we came upon a magical area, almost glowing in the late afternoon sun. The air, still, and the sun on the dry wash, made the scene surreal: poplar trees shimmering gold, and the Autumn-blooming Chamisa bush just called to the artist within. Purple mountains contrasted with the pinkish soil throughout the wash created a scene of extraordinary beauty. How perfect to meld with the earth, to become one with the scene and capture it in a new way.

The style I was trying to emulate was that of Birger Sandzen I got closer in 4 other paintings in my gallery... all landscapes. However, none matched this magical day.
It was an honor to be asked to recreate one of my paintings in his style ... in an hour, and in front of 50 people. This was the "Artist In Action" program at the Palm Springs Art Museum. They had the Sandzen Exhibit visiting the museum... I ended up using a painting from Arizona, "Courthouse Rock In Sedona" which is in my gallery. His style was a marriage of Van Gogh and Seurat. I didn't manage it as well as I would have wished... the experience, however was memorable.
