It is common to have an early snowfall in the mountains of New Mexico. This one stayed around for 5 days. Here it is early morning before there are footprints of man or beast. Fresh snow has the quality of soft shadows which create wonderful shadows. In painting it, I get a thrill from laying down the pure whites, as though I'm playing with snow.

In the forest, the small window of dusk allows a special enchantment and the fading daylight displays colors that one wouldn't ordinarily see. What I like about impressionistic painting is that the artist portrays his impression...his response to what he is viewing. I painted this in the Cibola National Forest in New Mexico.

I followed a dirt road off the main hwy, passed a "no tresspassing" sign, and came upon this friendly Autumn scene. I was really inspired to paint this...the morning sunlight streaming through the Aspens on the left, while displaying the late summer colors along the path and up the hill.

Most of us think of New Mexico as desert, prairie, and sky, but there exists beyound that a world of endless hidden treasures such as this one neatly tucked into the mountains that stretch throughout the state.

I can make any of these 8x10 inch paintings in to a larger, oil on canvas for you on a commission basis...just contact me. To purchase this painting, or order reproductions or note cards of this or any of my paintings, simply send me an e-mail with your request.

To a landscape painter the terrain here is a paradise. Mojave Academy lies tucked in a valley in the middle of Cibola National Forest, New Mexico. Along the mountain slopes protecting the valley are Ponderosa Pines, Cedar, Oak & Pinion pines. In September the ground is randomly covered with purple and yellow wild flowers.

I've done a lot of painting here....this is one of my favorites.

"Cheri's Clouds...The Western Prairie" by Jack Providenti

8 x 10 inches

oil on board

Mind & Spirit feel the desire to wander here on the high desert plains of New Mexico. Some of us are invited by the rolling rythm of the hills, while others are inspired by the space that is opened up through the sky and clouds. I gave the clouds & and sky to Cheri.

While it may appear detailed to some degree, this painting is an impression. Impressionism is a stlyle of painting which is not intended to be a copy of a scene as much as it is the artist's  response to a scene.

Mount Sienna

I was inspired by seeing the mass of yellow-browns and reds resting on these golden plains...so I named this painting "Mount Sienna".

In this photo I'm working on a painting of the Rio Grande which I'll soon publish.

High Plains ( in progress)

Here is a painting in progress.....a representation of the high plains desert in Western New Mexico. I'm noticing how the landscapes here kind of lend themselves to elements of abstract design. I've decided to do another rendition of this scene after it is completed...the second version will be an exercise in abstract art.
