[QUOTE="Spudnik, post: 3471809, member: 17890"]Here's an oil on board, about 40 X 50 CM. It's an interesting piece - the setting looks like it might be New Mexico, perhaps Santa Fe? I like the colors, but the perspective in parts of the work seem a little out of whack. Especially the building on the left, and the gate for the fence on the right in front of the other building.
