Comment by Georgina Rey on August 14, 2012 at 9:31am I think you should give up your day job and just paint/teach! Did you mix that orange?

Comment by Donald Maier on August 17, 2012 at 2:05pm I know these view points so well. I met Travis Terry at this one. His home is straight down in the valley. Find him next time and ask him to take you into the valley. He may put you up in his hogan. He is a flute craftsman, composer and performer. Cool guy. Tell him I sent you.

Comment by Damien M. Gonzales on August 18, 2012 at 10:35am Hi Georgina, yes mixed everything. The orange is actually more bright red oxide than anything else with touches of other colors.
