12x16, Oil, 800

My intent: capture the unusual light and color in the dramatic White Place, a favorite of O'Keeffe. It is now the sacred home for an Islamic group, and so is difficult to paint "en plein air". I took many photographs on a beautiful day with sun and stormy clouds. and enjoy reliving the experience while painting. Inquiries: karen.halbert@gmail.com.
