Misty mornings along the Rio Grande are a rare occurrence in the high desert of New Mexico.  traveling north of Santa Fe, looking across to the cottonwoods and willows, I saw the river with the trees turning to fall colors as a living impressionist painting.  A lush environment in the high desert of the Colorado Plateau.

This is the latest in a small series I am doing around the Rio Grande river.  In this case using quick strokes with a  writing brush on rough watercolor paper. 11" x 30" image size, unframed
