A small beauty framed in a blue metal frame which enhances the blue of the sky in the painting. I continue to paint Taos Pueblo. It has become part of my soul and my life here in the high desert of New Mexico. Little did I realize when I first came here how my life would change. The power of the mountain! It is more than legend and myth.

It took a couple years for me to feel the mystical power of Taos Mountain, its peoples, and its geography. So much unlike initial impressions of so many of my friends, my impressions were ho-hum......... Another interesting place with interesting people, but then I knew many other placeswith the same mystiques--nothing to get excited about. Two and a half years later as I drove through the "horseshoe," came up over the hill, I glanced to the left, and SUDDENLY saw the Gorge in all its glory and knew that the power of Taos had finally come over me. I could not leave.

Taos Pueblo is full of wonder and magic. So many people come to experience its power and energy. I live only a few miles from the source of this life changing force. It changed my life. I expected to leave and head back to the West. The magic of the Mountain kept me in Taos. You, too, can take a small part of this magic home with you.

The Quick Draw sponsored by the Taos Center for the Arts during Fall Arts Festival in Taos is one of my favorite events. Late in September, the weather is usually just right--not too hot and not too cold. My favorite spot to paint for this event is under a large tree in the courtyard. It is there that I have the opportunity to chat with passersby as they meander the path through the event.
Visions of Time, Oil on Canvas, 24 X 18" SOLD
Painting time for this event is three hours; however, painters may come as early as 9:00 AM to
set up and start or they may bring a parially completed painting.
I had started a sketch of the woman in my studio, but most of this painting evolved during the event. She was meant to be.
The Taos Pueblo has been and still is inhabited for the past 1100 years. A real treasure of New Mexico and the US. There is a special spirit and energy that still can be felt there today.
This painting was sold in less than 24 hours from the time it was hung in Open Space Gallery, Taos. The paint was still tacky.
