The following are photos of the paintings I created on-site in Santa Fe earlier this month. Instead of bringing my easel to a location to paint like my trips in 2008, I took pictures with my EOS Rebel from multiple locations, and then selected one image from all the photos to then translate into a painting back at my friend Todd's art studio. Sort of a visual art photo safari. This technique allowed me to see more different locations over a 4 day period than the traditional plein air method, and to use oil paints rather than the water-based goauche paint I bring into to the field.
