"Fields Near Taos"


"Fields Near Taos" - Oil - 9" x 12" - $175


"One of the things I enjoy about painting on location is 'pushing color.' If an area has a hint of a color, I can call the attention of the viewer to it by making the area more clearly that color. Since artists like me see more color than the unpracticed eye, onlookers often say 'That color really is there." I think, 'That's my job.'" --- SFG

"Forest Spirits"


"Forest Spirits" - Oil - 6" x 8" - SOLD

"Inspired by my new book about Nicholi Fechin, I selected a photo I took near Taos and used a spirited approach for this small work. The subject is quite abstract and I used color accents to move the eye through the work." --- SFG
