An autumn morning along the Rio Grande River, the bosque appears through the mist.  Bosque is the Spanish term for the riverside environment of cottonwoods and willows. It is what makes the Rio Grande in New Mexico so special. It's the end of summer and time to start harvesting the pinon nuts surrounding the villages and towns in Northern New Mexico.

Another of the painting-a-day series of small images. A fun way to bust loose and explore with watercolors using quick strokes with a Chinese writing brush on rough watercolor paper.
12" x 12" image size, matted and ready to frame.

Thanks for looking!
