San Geronimo Church at Taos Pueblo

Ruidoso Redhot Pokers

10.5x7 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Strathmore paper of redhot pokers I photographed years ago in Ruidoso's upper canyon area. These were growing by rocks at the log cabin lodging where we were staying in 1993. This is one of the first paintings as I was learning watercolor. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith
