I live in a place where the beauty of surrounding mountains inundates the lives of those who live within viewing distance. That place is Taos, New Mexico in the Land of Enchantment. This very contemporary rendering of the mountains is another way to feel their splendor and emotion. Not a realistic painting, but something that comes from the heart.

As I created this monotype, I thought of Mardi Gras, its colors, fantasy, fun, and excitement. I have never been in the midst of it, but have visited New Orleans either right before or right after. The stories, people, color, and fun don't let up with passage of Mardi Gras itself. New Orleans transcends the particular dates of Mardi Gras and is always the city of magical wonder.

I always feel in a rush, to rush to do this or that, a rush to get somewhere or just a rush to write on this blog. I feel this to be normalcy of life in the age of new and ever newer technology. Somewhere deep in my psyche the rush took over only to appear in a monotype. As with other pieces of my art, I most often do not know where or how the piece will end. The painting or monotype energy takes over with emergence of something I never expected.
