"Kokopeli"

Sitting on the front porch of Casa Escondido in Chimayo, New Mexico, I created this Kokopeli (The God of Fertility) with the lovely view of the mountains in the background.   This trip was my first trip to paint in New Mexico and certainly turned out not to be the last.   Casa Escondida has been a fond place for several of the artists that I paint with.  This first trip was a true learning experience.   Composition and color mixing were among new things we learned.  This painting was actually an experiment in mixing the colors that are typical in New Mexico.
