"Snow Showers"

It's forecasted that it will be 108 degrees F here in New Mexico today. In this unseasonably hot weather, how about cooling down with a painting of "Snow Showers!"

This was painted on location just north of Taos, New Mexico, just a short distance from the Taos Pueblo. With the Sangre de Cristo mountains in shadow in the background, and sunlight illuminating the foreground, snow was cascading from the heavens. I was on hand to witness this stunningly beautiful scene. Happily, I always drove around in a truck with a camper shell which was fully equipped for such an opportunity, so I set up and painted this magical view.
