This 5" x 5" watercolor on Gessobord was another experiment - acrylic is the typical medium for Gessobord. I found it fun for watercolor, subtle texture and the pigment basically sits on the surface, very easy to lift . . . intentionally or accidentally.
This is the North Fork Valley at Paonio Colorado. I believe that's Lamborn Mountain, West Elk Range. The Valley provides a perfect climate for fruit orchards, vineyards, and an abundance of organic crops.
My son Greg is living there now, while working on getting his fiancee Rosemery and his little boy Mateo moved from Peru to the United States. He lived in Paonia years ago and loved it --- so did we! I painted this so Rosemery could see the beautiful place she will come to when her visa is approved.
