Arroyo Seco Village Church, New Mexico by Marcy Brennan

6" x 6" watercolor on paper - Arroyo Seco Church

This is the first in a new series of four churches for the Let's Paint New Mexico blog photo challenge.  Can't wait to see what the other 3 churches will be.  The little village churches of New Mexico are some of my favorite subjects to paint.  This one was great fun.  I decided to do this series in watercolor rather than my usual oil.  Sometimes changing mediums is just what is needed for a fresh perspective!

Northern New Mexico Church by Marcy Brennan

11" x 14" oil on canvas panel

I painted this from a photo I took years ago when we lived in New Mexico.  While I don't remember the exact location of this church, I do know that it was in Northern New Mexico, probably between Santa Fee and Las Vegas (NM).

New Mexico Village Church

New Mexico Village Church - 8" x 10" Oil on Masonite

I painted this little church on Route 50 between Santa Fe and Las Vegas, NM years ago in pastels.  At the time I took the first photo, this picturesque little church had a turquoise roof.  The next time we drove by it, someone had put a new red roof on it.  My favorite color is turquoise, but I decided to paint this with the red roof and added much more reds and pinks in the building than are actually there.  I decided to stay true to the roof color and use some artistic flair on the building.
