Today was No. 2 in the "Grand Slam" week, the Rio Grande. I have been in Rio Grande habitat and have experienced cactus up close and very personal butt, that's another story. I wanted to make sure this painting had an arid look , so I eased off the green. Today went real smooth. From sketch to finish, I never had that lost feeling that seems to accompany most of my paintings. Yay for me! Tomorrow I'm painting a cooler spot.
