Taos Sunrise

Taos Sunrise (detail)

Another red rosin for the upcoming Open Studio Tour. Tried to capture the colours, not only of the sunrise and sky, but the ever-present turquoise and orange that permeates the Taos architecture and art.

Here's the red rosin paper with its coat of gesso and texture added.

Here's the first few passes of acrylic, drips and stencils.

And here's the finished product, more paint, drips and splatters and collage elements of New Mexican flag symbols and old correspondence.
