"Down by the River" was painted along the Rio Grande River. This is an evocative original oil plein air painting featuring the majestic Sandia Mountains in the background, with a vibrant Cottonwood tree in the foreground. The artist captures the lush, green foliage of the Cottonwood, contrasting it with the gentle purple hues of the mountains and the soft, wispy clouds in the sky. The foreground’s foliage is dotted with subtle shades of yellow, adding warmth to the scene. This piece beautifully conveys the tranquility and beauty of the New Mexico landscape, making it an ideal addition for collectors who appreciate Southwestern scenery and plein air artistry.

The painting’s loose brushwork and fresh color palette highlight the spontaneity of plein air style, making it a perfect choice for collectors seeking authentic, nature-inspired artwork.
