The last Chamisa of the season, the first dusting of snow on the peaks, and a break in the clouds lighting up the mountains.

This original painting captures a fleeting moment in the New Mexico high country as autumn gives way to winter. Painted on reclaimed wood, the natural character of the weathered boards becomes part of the landscape itself.

A cedar fence and wire cross the foreground and a handcrafted sterling silver New Mexico Cattle Growers Association sign hangs from the fence.

A tribute to the ranching heritage of the American Southwest.
