Chamisa Time

BERNARD MARKS WROTE ABOUT HIS SPECTACULAR, STRONGLY VERTICAL PAINTING “CHAMISA TIME”:

“Chamisa Time” stars a bushy plant also called “rabbit bush” that’s common in the arid Southwest. It not an attractive plant through most of the year, but in early autumn, it puts on a fine display of golden-yellow flowers in umbrella-like clusters.

Chamisas grow along arroyos (the Spanish term used in New Mexico to describe usually dry stream beds), or wherever water occasionally flows. The chamisas in our neighborhood arroyo were in full bloom, as shown in “Chamisa Time.”

MARTHA MARKS NOTES: Also on this website are “Snow in the Arroyo” and “Arroyo,” Bernie’s largest-ever watercolor painting.
