Postcard from Abiquiú

We arrived in Abiquiú, New Mexico where Georgia O'Keeffe lived and immediately went to the White Place (Plaza Bianca) to paint - tall columns and outcroppings of white volcanic ash.  It's an amazing place - very spiritual.  Today, it's hot and buggy there, but we enjoyed it thoroughly.  Came back to the inn and painted in a charming courtyard.  Wanted to share this trumpet vine sketch looking up at the wooden slat viga.

Postcard from Santa Fe

I painted this card this morning on Canyon Rd. in Santa Fe. There are a myriad of art galleries up & down the road.  This was the view from the tea house where a friend and I stopped for lavender lemonade after painting all morning. Blue skies, sun, dry - you would not know it was 99°!
