My goal is to expand my observation skills and to translate that vision onto the canvas.  New Mexico's mostly sunny climate allows ample opportunity for plein air painting.  Camping trips in the four corner states of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah also provide opportunities to paint and photograph the southwest scenery I so enjoy.
