Tlaquepaque Fountain

"Tlaquepaque Fountain"
oil on linen panel
12x16
$175

This painting was done from a photo I had taken of a courtyard in Sedona, Arizona on a trip there several years ago.  There is a beautiful shopping area in town called Tlaquepaque that is reminiscent of the architecture of Mexico.  I really enjoyed painting this scene with its afternoon shadows.  I am not painting as much at this time as I am trying to catch up with repainting the house--not as much fun as painting on canvas, but necessary.  I have decided to stop selling my paintings at art shows from now on.  I will reduce the prices and sell what I have at a local gallery.  The shows were getting to be too much work!
