 Red Sandstone Mesa Formation At Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, New Mexico

 

This painting features a sandstone Mesa with beautiful layers of beiges, clay reds, purples of all different shades. The juniper trees with their blue green foliage and the scattering of sandstone rocks everywhere in the foreground and mid-ground creates layers of distances. Sage plants are scattered in the ditches and eroded crevices in the earth as well. I loved this area in Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, New Mexico. I have written more about my trip to this area on my blog.
