"Cemetery in Cerrillos, NM"
5x7" acrylic on canvas
Jenny Niemeyer 2013
I painted this in the plein air style while on a recent trip to New Mexico - one of my favorite places!
One of my traveling companions, who had taken a horseback ride up past this little cemetery, bought this from me as a memento of our trip. I'd love to hear from anyone who paints plein air with acrylics! It's kind of hard to keep them from drying out.

I had some paint left over after I did "Cemetery in Cerrillos, NM," so I did this. Sometimes the quick, accidental paintings are my favorites.

"Judith's heaven"

Judith was a wild wolf that I'd known personally since 2007. She had avoided harm until October 2013 when a hunter in Idaho shot her and her puppy. Don't ask me why. Some things in this world make no sense. Judith can frolick to her heart's content in the hereafter. There's no one to bother her now.

The Ghost in the Canyon

A lot of wolves have been killed in the quest to bring them back to parts of their former range in the West. There's more bad news in store for them as the federal government washes its hands of wolf recovery.
