The mountains around Taos are a special place in winter regardless of whether you stand in town looking at the beauty above or whether you take advantage of winter sports in the mountains. The snow was good the other day, something like 15 or 16 inches at the Ski Valley and supposedly more on the way. I am not a winter sport enthusiast, but there is a kind of surreal beauty to snow which I tried to capture in this contemporary abstract painting. The stillness of white and light is meditative and takes one back to the mystic beginnings of life on the planet. Now if we can only maintain life on the planet so that its beauty continues.
