Hummingbirds come back from Mexico

for the summer. They like to build their

nests in the fruit orchards, especially the

cherry and apple trees. Our neighbors keep

feeders out for them and they will have 30

hummers at a time.

I have painted this building many times. It is the old

La Luz Pottery. In the 1920's pottery was made here,

mainly red clay pots and roof tile for houses. It was

quite the cottage industry for awhile.

It is hard to choose between foxgloves and hollyhocks to paint.

I like the tall stalks and big leaves and I think hollyhocks are more prolific

here in the Southwest.

I have painted this old abandoned adobe many times. I drive by on the

way to town and have watched it weathered over the years. It belongs

to the Old La Luz Pottery which has been donated to the Tularosa Basin

Historical Society. They are in the process of renovating the place.

Wild roses grow here in groves and are covered in blooms

in the spring, They are also extremely thorny.

I used the palette of ultramarine blue and alizarin crimson that Julie Ford Oliver

provided on her blog. I like the concept of the colors

being related to each other. It gives the painting unity.
