I was driving on a dirt road towards Water Canyon, New Mexico and spotted two cows walking along near the road. I stopped the car, rolled the window down, and feeling kind of flippant, said "Hi Mr. Cow!". This cow turned to look at me and his expression instantly reminded me of the old movie "Taxi Driver" when Robert DiNero delivered his now famous line..."You talkin' to me?" so I snapped a photo, and from that , created this painting.

While on a walk through old Taos, NM last summer, I spotted this partially hidden facade. I was intrigued with the building and the mountains in the backround,so I took some photos, and painted this scene yesterday.

I recently learned that it was built in 1836 by Juan De Luna, and later acquired by the Taos artist, E.I Couse who added more rooms and a studio sometime around 1866.

While the sun was in it's earliest stages of setting, I pulled off the road and

took a few pictures. It was the dramatic contrasts of the shadows and golden prairie brush that inspired me to paint this study of the scene. 

While painting it I began to appreciate the multicolored terrain, so I plan on

painting a larger version of this on canvas . Doing that will allow me to better express the colors.
