A GEM OF NEW MEXICO - CANONCITO - NEW MEXICO PAINT TRIP - DIX BAINES COLORADO LANDSCAPE ARTIST

What a great painting trip. It had been way to long since I had been out painting. Much needed. The colors were amazing and I came home with great reference on two cameras, as well as the starts on 10 paintings. I couldn't help paint one of my favorite adobe churches, Canoncito, while near Santa Fe. I have always wanted to paint the image from this view, which is from the freeway, but a difficult shot to get. This time I was successful though and got a shot that I was able to use. Just finished up the painting today and it is framed and ready to be shipped to McLarry Fine Art Gallery in Santa Fe.

View from the freeway with the cement median covering the bottom half of the church. Not much to go on, except great light and color, but enough that with the reference from numerous trips to Canyoncito, it should be possible. -DIX BAINES

​I started the painting at my campsite near Santa Fe. It was so windy that day, it wasn't worth trekking around trying to find views and I was pretty excited about this painting. -DIX BAINES

Another pass through. Image is starting to take shape. -DIX BAINES
