Ann's Chile Ristras

9x7 watercolor in sketchbook done a few days ago, on 80 lb paper, from a photo I took at Ann Templeton's home in Ruidoso Downs in 2004. We were at a Ken Hosmer workshop and he took us to the famous oil/pastel artist's riverside adobe for a paint out. I first painted this simple chile pepper scene years ago on a full sheet 30x22 which went to a new home. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

Lovely. I always wanted to take a class with Ann in Ruidoso. I did finally get to meet her at the Austin Pastel Society in Austin. Great artist.
