 new mexico sky musing, no. 10 ~ eager for autumn adventure

I didn't intend it when I started this painting, but by the time I completed it a series of memories had taken hold. Memories from my first years living out here, when I was in my late 20s... a time when I felt a little lost and overwhelmed in my big move. I'd recently graduated from my MFA program back east and I'd decided to return to this landscape that had defined my life for so many summers

I'd never been to New Mexico in autumn.... now it's my favorite season out here.
