Home from the Taos Plein Air Event!

I went to the Plein Air Artists of Colorado Plein Air event in Taos and got back about a week ago.  I had so much fun and especially loved the deep cut of the Rio Grand in the mountains and plain near Taos.  I painted five pastels and one oil painting all together.

Life Lessons

My family, ever the source of high drama, is in turmoil as of late.   I moved some 20 years back to avoid the constant onslaught of seemingly unsolvable situations.  Seeing the cost and the damage to the children involved in this scenario, I have concluded many of the decisions that are made are not well thought out.  It seems as though they live in a box of perplexity.  It is difficult to watch. 

My lesson for tomorrows art class is underway.  It is so good to be back teaching again.  I'm working on a high mountain scene with bear grass and rocky peaks in the distance.
