More on Santa Fe

I bought myself a small Navaho rug from Two Grey Hills, New Mexico. This is my first rug purchase. The yarn is all natural colored wool. I have tried weaving geometric shapes like this on a tapestry loom and I can appreciate how difficult it is. (I will never show what I did!)


Santa Fe has wonderful courtyards with shops and restaurants and gardens inside. I'd love to park an easle in there and paint away.

I love the architecture, the sky and the clouds.

We visited the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, where we saw her watercolors, oils and pastels. We saw this painting of the Jimson Weed, which is back from being in the White House.

I want to paint New Mexico!

This is our first visit to New Mexico and I am inspired by the beauty here. For starters, I was able to walk around Santa Fe and photograph lovely scenes I'd like to paint. Here are some of them. Thanks goodness for cameras. Sometimes you just don't have time to paint.
