Georgia O'Keeffe Museum facade, March 2009."[I try to capture] the unexplainable thing in nature that makes me feel the world is so big far beyond my understanding -- to understand maybe by trying to put it into form. To find the feeling of infinity on the horizon line or just over the next hill."
~ Georgia O'Keeffe, 1977

Along Canyon Road, March 2009 i belong here.

resting gently on your shoulders.

Near the Church of Loretto, March 2009"In fact I think most pictures of the Southwest are to a great extent false because the painters get blinded into whiteness, make pale pictures where the real color of New Mexico is deep and strong...I only want to find whatever of the great spirit there is in the Southwest. If I can hold it on my canvas I am satisfied."
~ Robert Henri, 1923

Near Santa Fe's downtown square, March 2009. "My people, we believe that all is one great circle...all of life is a circle. My finger is a circle and my wrist is a circle. The earth is a circle and so is the universe.
We are all connected. We are all one."
~ Rodey Lee Guerro, Navajo silversmith

did you ever make it here: www.ojospa.com?
i can't get enough of those healing waters. there almost every weekend!
Abiquiu is my favorite place in New Mexico. Jumped off 30 foot cliffs into the lake about a month ago. Desperately want to camp on top of the Padernal, the mesa O'Keefe said god would give to her if she painted it.
no! i never did make it there but this is the first i'm learning of its existence. total bummer!
thrilled to hear you could also be a water baby! i'm a fish! my goal is to own a REALLY HUGE bathtub one day soon. happy to report--in case you ever make it out there--that montana has hot springs. i used to frequent symes hot springs, which resides in such quiet land that you can hear cattle lowing miles away.
when are you going to camp out on padernal? sounds super appealing!
