After painting the sky and clouds on the horse's head and neck,
the artist takes a break and explains to the dog
what this large creature is doing in her studio!

Sunset at Taos Pueblo is begun, after finishing the sky and clouds.
The artist paints a mixed rosy undercoat, the glow of sunset which shines through in
highlights througout most of the Taos Pueblo side
