Abiquiu Pot

I had a photograph of a lovely red pot of flowers on the Abuiqui Inn porch in Abuiqui NM., I first used watercolor on a large piece of Yupo.  Watercolor is difficult to use on Yupo because it slides around a lot.   After painting it, I used a screen a to grind up pastel colors and dropped them into the color. This added texture to  enrich the image.  When the painting was to my liking, I sprayed the surface with acrylic to hold the pastel.
