20x16 inches, pastel on pumiced rag board.
I had several sessions on this painting. I had to sit on the steep side of a cliff but I found a comfortable rock. The black tree was beautiful against the backdrop of the waterfall in this stretch of the Rio de Pueblo Taos. Each day brought new visions and the stack of pictures got higher. My meditation was getting deeper with the clean air and simple food. The crisp sunlight was consistent. The snow melt was beautiful in its hurry to get down the mountain.
