A painting I just finished depicting an area in New Mexico known as" Georgia O'Keefe's Back Yard". So named because she spent many days and nights painting there. I can see what motivated her to do that. I spent some time camping there....it is an awesome land.the southwest paintings

"Morning Light" by Jack Providenti

A plein-air painting

8" x 10"
oil on board

I painted this in three morning sessions of 20 minutes each. I would stand out there and wait for the sun to pop up behind the mountain and then paint quickly before the shadows changed drastically. Later, I completed it in my studio using a couple of reference pictures. forest  series paintings
