Alpine Butte - Nov 2011
Mike and I love to visit the West Texas Big Bend area. This scene is just outside Alpine, on the road to Marfa. We took a trip to there in September. I took a photo of this simple butte in the early morning which was the reference for this painting. This is my first lanscape painting and my first painting on a stretched canvas. I feel as though I am becoming a real painter.
It has been a while since I posted. This painting was finished in November but I just now got it photographed. A visit from my mom kept me busy for two weeks in November along with Thanksgiving and house parties.
