Taos Pueblo In Winter
This picture has existed in three incarnations, excluding failed experiments and countless preliminary sketches.
The first was created roughly thirty years ago and utilized a remarkable substance called "paint." That version (along with a washing machine and a set of pre-war Japanese teacups) was stolen by some drug-addled maniac; and for years the only record I had of it was a small photograph.
When I became a digital artist, I scanned the photo into the computer and reconstructed the picture almost exactly using the same painting programs I use to create my current images. I posted it here for a while, but when an artist colleague observed that the art would look good on a greeting card or calendar (not a compliment, in my circle) I took it down to have another try.
This third version looks similar to the second, except that now the brush strokes and (rather unlikely) colors are vastly more expressive. It's now a modern painting. My colleague doesn't care for this one, either, so darned if I'll ask for his opinion again.
I still don't know what happened to the original painting. If somebody sees it in the Louvre, please let me know. And keep an eye out for the teacups, too.
