It's the end of summer and time to start harvesting the pinon nuts surrounding the villages and towns in Northern New Mexico.  The smell of roasting green chili is the harbinger to  the perfume of pinon smoke when the weather turns colder.

Another of the painting-a-day series of small images. A fun way to bust loose and explore with watercolors using quick strokes with a Chinese writing brush on rough watercolor paper. 12" x 12" image size, matted and ready to frame.

Thanks for looking!
