Road Trip from East Texas to New Mexico

August Sunset in Farmington, New Mexico

Car stuffed full, kids in back, playing on laptop, long drive from end of Texas to the other, then we arrived in Farmington, NM. Here is the sunset that greeted us the next day. I thought it’d make a nice painting for a greeting card or something so I used Gimp, one of my favorite graphic editors. and used their canvas artistic filter, you can’t see all the canvas lines in this shrunk down version.

Shiprock was off in the distance, a famous rock named after it’s shape. Hard to miss!

  1. Wow! I really love the colors in that first picture! They make me feel relaxed. Keep it up!

    By the way, have you ever considered submitting photos to istockphotos.com?

  2. Good, the first picture looks blurry scaled down, but the larger image where the canvas lines show is a very soothing picture.

    istockphotos–I may someday, mixed feelings on selling a photo artwork for small change, but then it can be resold over and over. If I do istock, my very favorite, original ones I’ll keep to myself.

    Thanks.
