I Painted most of this during an incredible snow storm up here the mountains of the Cibola National Forest ( New Mexico) where it's 8500 ft above sea level. The work was done inside a camper that I converted into an art studio.....I was really "in" the storm! I was dressed for the outdoors while doing it, as the old camper did not provide adequate heat.  I like to think that the sense of the experience is communicated in the painting.

The sun broke through an area of the thick mountain woods. The light shed kind of an eerie cast where it was nearly absent. I caught the scene with my camera and thought it would make an enchanting depiction of the way light plays with shadows in the mountain forest.

The trees at the edge of the forest seemed to be marching in the snow. While living here in the mountains of the Cibola National Forest, one begins to see things differently...especially when it snows frequently, leaving a three foot base of the white stuff. The world here gets very bright.

Doorway To The Woods

The mountain forest is enchanting. I couldn't resist working this so as to have it appear as though there is a doorway in the woods. There was actually a slight reddish glow at the foot of the wooded area, and I highlighted that ( artistic license!).

December in the Cibola National Forest, New Mexico and it is definitely winter. While growing up in the city, I didn't get to see a lot of clean, white snow. I suppose I am making up for it now...the light and shadow after a fresh snowfall are just amazing.

Following a light, fresh, light snow, the schoolhouse appeared to be "decorated in winter'. While painting it I experienced a long lost feeling... I had a desire to go to school!

Snowy Woods Sunset by Jack Providenti

"Snowy Woods Sunset"

impressionism

8 x 10 inches oil on board

 There is drama in the light and shadows of the forest. As the sun begins to set on an icy cold day, it darkens the trees and brightens the snow. The studio is right at the foot of the mountains of the Cibola Nationsl Forest in New Mexico and my paintings directly and spontaneously communicate the experience of being there.

This painting is for sale @ $110.00 plus shipping. It can be purchased by credit card through Pay Pal even if you don't have a PayPal account.

It is common to have an early snowfall in the mountains of New Mexico. This one stayed around for 5 days. Here it is early morning before there are footprints of man or beast. Fresh snow has the quality of soft shadows which create wonderful shadows. In painting it, I get a thrill from laying down the pure whites, as though I'm playing with snow.

This painting, or note cards & reproductions of it can be purchased theough PayPal wether you have a paypal account or not. Just send me an e-mail.

In the forest, the small window of dusk allows a special enchantment and the fading daylight displays colors that one wouldn't ordinarily see. What I like about impressionistic painting is that the artist portrays his impression...his response to what he is viewing. I painted this in the Cibola National Forest in New Mexico.

I followed a dirt road off the main hwy, passed a "no tresspassing" sign, and came upon this friendly Autumn scene. I was really inspired to paint this...the morning sunlight streaming through the Aspens on the left, while displaying the late summer colors along the path and up the hill.

Most of us think of New Mexico as desert, prairie, and sky, but there exists beyound that a world of endless hidden treasures such as this one neatly tucked into the mountains that stretch throughout the state.

I can make any of these 8x10 inch paintings in to a larger, oil on canvas for you on a commission basis...just contact me. To purchase this painting, or order reproductions or note cards of this or any of my paintings, simply send me an e-mail with your request.

To a landscape painter the terrain here is a paradise. Mojave Academy lies tucked in a valley in the middle of Cibola National Forest, New Mexico. Along the mountain slopes protecting the valley are Ponderosa Pines, Cedar, Oak & Pinion pines. In September the ground is randomly covered with purple and yellow wild flowers.

I've done a lot of painting here....this is one of my favorites.

"Cheri's Clouds...The Western Prairie" by Jack Providenti

8 x 10 inches

oil on board

Mind & Spirit feel the desire to wander here on the high desert plains of New Mexico. Some of us are invited by the rolling rythm of the hills, while others are inspired by the space that is opened up through the sky and clouds. I gave the clouds & and sky to Cheri.

While it may appear detailed to some degree, this painting is an impression. Impressionism is a stlyle of painting which is not intended to be a copy of a scene as much as it is the artist's  response to a scene.

New Mexico Rabbit Brush

I am fascinated with this stuff that is called "rabbit brush". Each bush grows to about three feet in diameter by September. They become a complete ground covering creating a greyish purple terrain dotted with bright yellow blooms. Here they sit at the entrance of a forest.
