"Morning Light"

Painted on location near Arroyo Seco, New Mexico.

”Morning Light” 18”x20” (#853) oil on linen canvas by Lee Gordon Seebach

A bright, clear winter morning in New Mexico! I set up my French easel along the road to the Taos Ski Valley in a sunny spot, so I was warm enough. Sagebrush and chamisa in the foreground, a couple of pinon trees, a drop off into a valley, then the Sangre de Cristo mountains with peaks covered with snow. It doesn't get much better than that!

"The blessing of obligation...it is well for an artist, if in his work he may be truly lost, cloistered in it, and that his life with it is one of uncompromising probity and patience, an unflinching tenacity of energy and will." Cecilia Beaux (1855-1942)
