New Mexico was my first home. I was raised in a small town called Alamogordo. After high school, I moved to Albuquerque to pursue a dental hygiene degree, then moved with my husband to Tucson, Arizona. We frequently make trips to and from Albuquerque to visit family. This painting was inspired by the New Mexico sunset during a trip back to Tucson. I shot a reference photograph on Highway 26 between Hatch and Deming, New Mexico to help recreate the scene. From the photo and memory, I completed this triptych panoramic view of a gorgeous New Mexico sunset. It was done using oil paints on three 4" x 4" canvases.
