Palette Knife Painting on Opaque Glass

Yes, its another piece out of the kiln--sorry.  You know how I said I loved to paint sunsets?  Well here we are.  In order to boost the colors, I powder painted on Marzipan Opal rather than my usual 6mm Tekta clear.  This tends to really boost the color vibrance and is great for southwestern colors.  It also is not reactionary like many of its color kin such as French Vanilla.    I tend to stay away from white since it tends to overstate the colors and can be a challenge to cover.

This piece is a reflection of our recent trip to Phoenix to visit my niece.  I always feel like I have entered a new universe when I go down to the Sonoran Desert.  The plant life, the desert critters and the climate are all so different from Colorado.  I do love the juxtaposition between the two worlds.

New Mexico will always be my home no matter how long I have been away. I also love the desert life. Beautiful
