The Between Time


Twilight has a way of taking possesion of open spaces, and for a relativly brief time can command more attention than the combined hours of day & night. Here is an impression of "The Between Time"when the day is through, and night has not begun in the high deserts of Catron county, New Mexico. Oil on canvas 20"x24". This painting is for sale.

Reproductions of this painting are also available. Note cards are 6 for $14.00. Reproductions start at $12.00 each ( 8"x10"). You can order by contacting me at fineartjp@aol.com To see more paintings and note cards visit my art gallery: http://www.jackprovidentiart.com/

High Plains

While driving East on Rt 60, just outside of Magdalena, a silhouette of the Gallinas Mountains rises behind the rolling plains. Intrigued by the patterns of the hills, I took several photos from which I composed this painting. Done in pastels ( see post of June 1st), it is 16"x24".

Reproductions of this painting are available. Note cards are 6 for $14.00. Reproductions start at $12.00 each ( 8"x10"). You can order by contacting me at fineartjp@aol.com To see more paintings and note cards visit my art gallery: http://www.jackprovidentiart.com/

High Plains ( in progress)

Here is a painting in progress.....a representation of the high plains desert in Western New Mexico. I'm noticing how the landscapes here kind of lend themselves to elements of abstract design. I've decided to do another rendition of this scene after it is completed...the second version will be an exercise in abstract art.
