THE NEXT DAY'S PAINTING

Painting with Douglass off the highway. This great morning view of good rock formations. So good to be in New Mexico painting again. Looking forward to Ghost Ranch next month.

STOPPING BY THE CABIN ON A WINDY AFTERNOON

A quick trip to Santa Fe to see the show at the O"Keeffe museum, I had to

detour and stop by the cabin at Ghost Ranch to make a drawing.

It was too windy to stay outside for long.

I was glad to see the early abstract paintings by O'Keeffe, especially the room of watercolors.

A WAY IN AND A WAY OUT

Avery Mountain from Gothic

Drawing a way to go on paper,

A path, a clearing

A way in and

A way out.

Independence, Cottonwood, Kebler, Hilliard, Scofield, Cinnamon, Halfmoon

Painting up in Gothic, near Crested Butte last month,

I kept thinking of mountain passes,

a path between two mountains that allows the crossing of a mountain chain,

usually the highest point on that route. Also called a gap, col or saddle.
