About this painting from Robert
Rio Chama,
New Mexico
- The Rio Chama that runs through
Abiquiu
,
New Mexico
always appeared to me as quiet lazy slow moving river in this area. That
appealed to me. The combination of mountains and rivers somehow seemed
special and unique. I liked the two together, so when my artist
girlfriend, Rebecca Lowe, and I were in that area in the fall of 2004 I
decided to paint it. This spot is just down river and east of Abiquiu
before the El Rito and the Rio Chama meet. At the time, I was, what I call
"chasing the yellow".
