A good week, but tired....

 It has been a crazy week!
Painting in the gardens of Corrales 
Taking off for Santa Fe, Abiquiu, and Ghost Ranch 
Checking out Canyon Road 
Painting for the Santa Fe Plein Air Festival
Framing and dropping finished paintings in Corrales
Driving back to Santa Fe to drop off finished paintings
Taking a long nap
Cleaning studio
Going to Corrales opening this Friday
Missing the Santa Fe opening because it's on the same night

Here are a few photos from my journey:

This painting sold to the homeowner.

 Who wouldn't want to wake up and see this garden every day?
I will be painting a series of people in the garden soon.

 On my drive - I came across this old building.
I love it!
It looks like an old theater.
I will say that Espanola has the best old abandoned buildings.

 I spotted this FABULOUS old truck.
The only problem is the chain link fence.
I will paint it and remove the fencing.

 I visited the Purple Adobe Lavender Farm in Abiquiu.
Pretty but a little smaller than I thought.

 My drive towards Ghost Ranch.
It's other worldly.
Whenever I need to escape or be inspired, this is where I go.

 Beautiful scenery

 Hoo Doos

 love these pastel colored formations

 Road to the monastery

 Rio Chama near the monastery

 My favorite Abiquiu house.
I've painted this a few times.

 Pedernal - O'Keefe's mountain.
Wow, it's just beautiful.

Old door with hollyhocks and a few larkspur

I was going to try to be witty and write more interesting dialog,
but frankly, all I want to do is go to bed.

Good night all!
