This is another work inspired by New Mexico and one of my favorites. If you've ever been in a high mountain desert right before a rainstorm, you've experienced that crackling feeling in the atmosphere that let's you know that the sky is about to let loose a downpour. The air, which is usually crystal clear, begins to fill with a mist which slightly obscures the shape of the surrounding mountains. The rumble of thunder underscores your awareness of the imminent drama that nature will provide. It can be a spectacular moment! In this painting, heavy impasto layers of the colors of the earth and sky were blended and applied to the canvas as I remembered the awe that moment inspires.
