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  series of  watercolors working to achieve a minimalist feel. A fun way to bust loose and explore with watercolors using quick strokes with a Japanese writing brush on rough watercolor paper.  12" x 16" image size with 16" x 20" mat and ready to frame.
