Theme Day: Animals

2012-02-01T00:00:00.000-08:00

The first of the month is upon us once again and it's Theme Day here on City Daily Photo. This months theme is Animals. Classes are back on at the college and I had to run out to the campus on Saturday. When I came out this little guy was waiting patiently for his owner in their vehicle. As I drove away I turned back and he hadn't moved an inch. Dogs are such wonderful friends.

Old Ford

2012-01-31T00:00:00.000-08:00

An oldie but a goodie. I caught this while out and about this weekend. It still ran but needed a little TLC. I would love to have one like this.

Inn and Spa at Loretto

2012-01-30T00:00:00.000-08:00

If you ever wanted to treat yourself to a wonderful place to stay when visiting Santa Fe you have to try the Inn and Spa at Loretto. I caught this yesterday while the sun was setting and there was a wonderful glow at the entrance. Good thing I was a passenger instead of driving. Have a great week everyone.

Winter Day On The Plaza

2012-01-29T00:00:00.000-08:00

It was a little chilly yesterday but there were quite a few people out on the plaza yesterday. I shot this on my way to the Souper Bowl. The Souper Bowl is an event that raises money for The Food Depot. They provide food and household products to needy citizens and households in the northern part of our state. There were 30 restaurants that competed for the best in several categories including best cream soup, best seafood, best vegetarian, most savory and the best. It was so wonderful to see so many people there supporting this much needed charity.

Reflections Past

2012-01-28T00:00:00.000-08:00

I almost forgot about this shot from last Fall. I took this at an artist studio in Abiquiu. She creates these great mirrors out of vintage windows.

Early Morning Sky

2012-01-27T00:00:00.000-08:00

Earlier this week we were supposed to get snow. Unfortunately the storm passed us by but I was able to capture this wonderful sky just as I got up. Good thing my camera was near by. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Road Guard

2012-01-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

As we left Ghost Ranch we ran into this little fellow and a few of his friends walking along the road. I didn't have an apple so he just gave me that keep moving mister look.
Next time I will come prepared.

Standing On The Edge

2012-01-25T00:00:00.000-08:00

As you can see the view from the edge is breathtaking and so was the climb for that matter. It would be great to stand on that rock for a shot. Then the thought hit me, how in the heck would you get down? Anyone have a helicopter?

Snow and Desert

2012-01-24T00:00:00.000-08:00

This is not a combination that most people think about when they think of New Mexico. We are however at at 7500 ft in elevation so we do get our fair share as you have seen in past post. I love the look of the two in this shot. The smell of the Juniper in the cold was amazing.

My Dream

2012-01-23T00:00:00.000-08:00

This is a view of the Perdernal (made famous by Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings) as we were coming down off our Chimney Rock hike. After she passed away her ashes were spread on the top of the mountain. And here is the meaning of my title. If you look to the left you will see Abiquiu Lake. Then just to right of that lone branch in the middle of the shot is where I own 5 acres of land. My dream is that one day I will build a small vacation home on this land with large window that will face the Perdernal.

One another note I did play with "Picnik" after reading a few other blogs and tried darkening the edges a little. It's a fun little too and free right now since they are closing the site in April.

Light and Shadows

2012-01-22T00:00:00.000-08:00

“Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.” — Oscar Wilde

One Day

2012-01-21T00:00:00.000-08:00

When I say this little tree in the middle of all of these trees I was reminded of being a kid and thinking "One day I will be as big as you." The things that go through your mind when your out on a hike.

Living On The Edge

2012-01-20T00:00:00.000-08:00

When I reached the top I caught sight of this couple sitting on the edge and taking in the view. It was so amazing to see the valley below us and just enjoying the warmth of the sun. Wishing you all a weekend full of fun.

Sweet Eyes

2012-01-19T00:00:00.000-08:00

In fact her eyes were made out of Jelly Lifesavers candy. I think she was some kind of activist too, check out her peace gloves. Well at least she was fighting the good fight spreading peace and love. I found her on one of my snowshoeing hikes.

Ghost Ranch

2012-01-18T00:00:00.000-08:00

This is part of the grounds and the mountains surrounding it. If you checked out the link from Monday's post you might have checked out some of the classes and retreats held there. I would love to take a painting class there one day.

Wiped Out.

2012-01-17T00:00:00.000-08:00

When we first arrived at the trail entrance I saw these two just kicking back after some snow boarding. They might have been waiting for a ride too. The weekend is over and I am sure by mid-day I will be wishing I was back out here again.

Chimney Rock

2012-01-16T00:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I spent the day at Ghost Ranch. The ranch was made famous by Georgia O'Keeffe who owned a home nearby. I love being there knowing that she walked around here and painted many of her famous landscapes all around. For more on the history of Ghost Ranch just click here.

Over the next week I will be sharing some more snow hike photos and more from our Ghost Ranch hike. Oh and yes I made it all the way to the top.

Silent Walk

2012-01-15T00:00:00.000-08:00

Silence is a source of great strength. Lao Tzu

Welcome Hello

2012-01-14T00:00:00.000-08:00

This is from my archive. I caught this in a door way of a gallery during the High Road Studio tour.

Reflection and Bad Cowgirls

2012-01-13T00:00:00.000-08:00

I can think of a few ladies who would love this shopping bag. I found it hanging at a local shop downtown. Wishing you all a great weekend. As for me it's a three day weekend for me! Time to go out and capture some shots.

Native Pup

2012-01-12T00:00:00.000-08:00

I could not resist taking a photo of this little guy. He sits outside of a gallery on Canyon Road. Hang on it's almost Friday!!!

Why?

2012-01-11T00:00:00.000-08:00

Someone certainly took alot of time to carve up this tree. In my opinion I would prefer that they get a tattoo and leave the poor trees alone. I came across this during a hike a few weekends past.

A Little Patch

2012-01-10T00:00:00.000-08:00

Even though most of our snow in the city is gone there are still little patches to be found in some tucked away places. I couldn't resist this shot when I saw the shadow of the little tree.

Look Out Below!

2012-01-09T00:00:00.000-08:00

That's just what a heard just before this guy passed me up on the trail. It's Monday and I hope the week flies by just like this guy did when flew right by me. Have a good start to your week!

Silence

2012-01-08T00:00:00.000-08:00

“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift.” Albert Einstein

We no longer have any snow in the city but the mountains still have plenty. This shot is from our hike.

Time for a Party!

2012-01-07T00:00:00.000-08:00

This old caboose sits pretty close to my home in the railyard district. One day these wheatpaste photos appeared out of the blue. Must have happened while I was at work.

Speaking of parties, our beautiful state of New Mexico turned 100 years old yesterday. There was a big Centennial black tie ball here in town, no I did not attend. It was a little out of my price range. So today I will celebrate our states 100 years by taking a hike!

Evening Reflection

2012-01-06T00:00:00.000-08:00

Across the street from yesterdays post is the LewAllen Galleries. I love the chocolate brown color of the building and while walking around I caught this reflection in one of their windows. Wishing you all a happy and fun weekend!

Evening Shadow

2012-01-05T00:00:00.000-08:00

I caught this on my way home the other day. This time of day creates some really great shadows.

Snowflake

2012-01-04T00:00:00.000-08:00

There are still some decorations hanging around town. I caught this while running an errand in the downtown area.

Skull and Bow

2012-01-03T00:00:00.000-08:00

Before the visit to the Taos Ski Valley I did have to do a little window shopping on the plaza. While walking past this leather shop I caught sight of this skull with it's red bow. How festive!

Taos Snowflake

2012-01-02T00:00:00.000-08:00

I spent an early New Years Eve in the Taos Ski Valley. They had a Torchlight parade down one of the ski slopes followed by a fireworks show. This is the area where some of the ski shops and a few of the lodges are.

Theme Day: Photo of the Year 2011

2012-01-01T00:00:00.000-08:00

It's the first of the month as well as the first of the year. So that means it is Theme Day here at City Daily Photo. The theme is Photo of the Year for 2011 and I choose the photo of the San Francisco de Asis Misson Church in Taos that I posted in March of last year.

Treat yourself and check out of the best of 2011 by some wonderful photographers:

Peace

2011-12-31T00:00:00.000-08:00

It's the end of another year and I want to thank you all for sharing you wonderful photographs with me over the last year. In 2012 I wish you all many joyful memories, hundreds of smiles and peace that will fill your hearts and souls. Happy New Year to you and yours!

I shot this on Christmas Eve at the Canyon Road Christmas Eve walk. This was done at one of the schools nearby.

Snow Parking

2011-12-30T00:00:00.000-08:00

Our snow is almost all gone down here in the city. The mountains still look beautiful and I hope to head up there for a hike during the long weekend. Today the weather is going to be in the high 40's so this parking lot will probably be reduced to mud.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Red Holiday Ristras

2011-12-29T00:00:00.000-08:00

I love how they light up the Chile Ristras every year. I think it makes them a little more spicy. These were hanging along side of the Chiaroscuro Gallery on Canyon Road.

Holiday Magic II

2011-12-28T00:00:00.000-08:00

The look from yesterdays post continued to another window in this shop. Winter does inspire some beautiful things.

Holiday Magic

2011-12-27T00:00:00.000-08:00

I love looking at holiday window displays. I am always amazed at things the window designers create. This window is from Curiosa on Canyon Road during the Christmas Eve walk.

Night Glow

2011-12-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

On Christmas Eve, Canyon Road was full of beautiful light displays. So excited that I have today off before going back to work. I hope the joy of the weekend follows you through the week.

Merry Christmas from Santa Fe

2011-12-25T00:00:00.000-08:00

To all of my friends I wish you all a very Merry Christmas full of love and joy. You are all the best gift any blogger could ask for. I shot this last night during the Canyon Road Christmas Eve walk. The road was full of carolers, Farolitos, bonfires and loads of Christmas cheer!

Check out this link for the definition of a Farolito (also known as a Luminaria).

Christmas On The Plaza

2011-12-24T00:00:00.000-08:00

The plaza is full of lights and Faralitos for the holidays. While walking down San Francisco street the other evening I caught the Basilica as it was being lit by the setting sun and street lights. It will be quite busy this evening with the Children's Mass followed by the Midnight Mass.

Wishing you all of the joy, peace and happiness of the Christmas season. Oh and if your still shopping today don't let the grumpy people ruin your holiday.

Christmas in Santa Fe

2011-12-23T00:00:00.000-08:00

We have a wonderful book at our local bookstores called "Christmas in Santa Fe." It is a "rich cultural feast of Spanish, Anglo and Pueblo traditions," according to Amazon. It's funny but they always seem to sell out every year all over town. I caught this display at the Collected Works bookstore. Happy Friday everyone. If your traveling for the holidays be safe.

Morning Glow

2011-12-22T00:00:00.000-08:00

I caught the sun trying to peak through the clouds on the way to work yesterday. There is snow in the forecast again for us. I hope it comes and stays through Christmas.

Path Less Traveled

2011-12-21T00:00:00.000-08:00

The Winter storm that made national news left us with a little snow but not as much as predicted. I caught this while out on my walk. I was drawn to the shadows of the trees crossing the path.

The Perfect Gift

2011-12-20T00:00:00.000-08:00

If your shopping for that perfect piece of Native American pottery you have to stop by the Andrea Fisher Gallery on San Francisco street. They represent many Native American artist from all of the pueblos here in New Mexico. It really is a treat even just to window shop. One day I hope to own a piece of my own.

Holiday Lights

2011-12-19T00:00:00.000-08:00

While running around downtown yesterday evening trying to finish my Christmas shopping I found myself taking more photos than shopping. Otra Vez is a resort that offers vacation ownership. The location is only a short walk from the plaza.

The Adobe Photo Shoppe

2011-12-18T00:00:00.000-08:00

The Adobe Photo Shoppe is a gallery and photographic retail store in the downtown area. I love browsing through the work of other photographers in their wonderful little shop.
Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday.

Shop or Sit

2011-12-17T00:00:00.000-08:00

If your one of those people who just don't like shopping but you tag along anyway the Marcy Street Card shop has a seat just for you. Click on the photo for a better look.

Christmas On Delgado Street.

2011-12-16T00:00:00.000-08:00

Looks like I caught a little of everything in this shot of an art gallery on Delgado Street with crosses Canyon Road. We have a bench for VP of Livorno Daily Photo. A Christmas wreath and some Faralitos or as some call the Luminarias on the roof which shine brightly at night. Some snow and a small hint of the sky in the window reflection.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. I am off to Albuquerque to finish off some holiday shopping.

Chile Wreath

2011-12-15T00:00:00.000-08:00

Not only will you find wreaths made of Pine and branches but here you will find them made out of Chile peppers. I shot this a few weekends ago before at the Farmer's Market before the real cold weather set in.

Festive Trees

2011-12-14T00:00:00.000-08:00

Just a few of the shops on Marcy street all decked out for Christmas. Do you have a favorite ornament that you put up every year? I have too many to list.

Hotel Chimayo

2011-12-13T00:00:00.000-08:00

Hotel Chimayo is all decked out for the holidays. Located in the downtown area and within walking distance to the plaza. It's a great place to stay when visiting our city.

I am posting a link to their website because they are having a sweepstakes for a two night stay. Who knows, you next trip could be to Santa Fe.

On the Mountain

2011-12-12T00:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we took a drive to take in some of the beauty of the Winter. You can't help but notice this rock when driving down the mountain but this time I couldn't help but notice how it stood out because the snow melted from the warmth of the rock.

Some of you asked about the Mexican chocolate that I post last week. Take a look at this wonderful blog for a great post.

Snow Path

"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still."
-Dorothea Lange

Shadow and Snow

2011-12-10T00:00:00.000-08:00

During my brief but very cold walk along Canyon Road I caught this on the side of a gallery. The sun has been out for several days now and alot of our snow is already gone but I still have some shots to share with you. Happy Saturday.

Reflection

2011-12-09T00:00:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite places to shop on the plaza is the Santa Fe Indian Trading Company. It mostly has tourist type merchandise but it's fun. I love their little Christmas tree in the front window. You can also see a reflection of the trees on the plaza and the evening sky.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Snowy Cactus

2011-12-08T00:00:00.000-08:00

On my short and I mean short walk (it was so cold) to capture some snow shots, I came across this cactus with a little snow still on it. I was careful not to get too close.

Behind the Trees

2011-12-07T00:00:00.000-08:00

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."
John Ruskin

And It Came Down

2011-12-06T00:00:00.000-08:00

Before I left for my class the snowflakes were small and not really a threat on the roads. This was the scene on Old Pecos Trail three hours later on my way home. It made me long for some Mexican hot chocolate so I headed straight home.

Break Time

2011-12-05T00:00:00.000-08:00

“Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey.” Alex Noble

Today is the end of another 16 week class for me. I hate speaking in front of people so I am nervous as all heck already but I am happy for the journey and what I learned. Time to kick back, well at least for the next four weeks and then it's on to something new.

I caught this in an artist home garden. I don't think I would have the patience to create this.

A Clear Path

2011-12-04T00:00:00.000-08:00

The snow finally came to Santa Fe but not as much as the forecasters warned us about. It was enough to get me in the holiday spirit. By days end the snow started to fall again so we'll see what the new day has to bring. Have a peaceful Sunday everyone.

# 20

2011-12-03T00:00:00.000-08:00

Everyday I take a walk as part of my lunch hour. My walk takes me along the railroad tracks and the other day I looked up as the RailRunner was making its way towards me and I caught this small sign with the number 20 on it. I love the way it looked against this naked tree. Click on it for a better look.

Wagon Wheel Window

2011-12-02T00:00:00.000-08:00

I love this idea for a window. This wagon wheel window can be found next to a gallery on Canyon Road. Happy Friday everyone and I hope you all have a great weekend. We're waiting for some snow showers today, we'll see.

Theme Day: Action

2011-12-01T00:00:00.000-08:00

Well this Theme Day caught me really off guard. Luckily I had this shot that I caught downtown a few weekends ago. Take a look at other "action" shots from my fellow Daily Photo bloggers: Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Recycled Art Festival I

2011-11-30T00:00:00.001-08:00

I almost forgot to share some of the photos I took at the Recycled Art Festival. This first piece of art work is by Lane Patterson. How would you like to have this Cowboy lamp in your home? Mr. Lane currently shows in galleries in New Mexico, California, and Arizona. He also shows at the Recycled Art Festival every year. Make sure to click on the photo for a closer look.

Covered

2011-11-29T00:00:00.000-08:00

This is one of my favorite views as you drive down from the Sangre De Cristo mountains. All the yellow leaves are gone and part of the mountain had snow on it this weekend. I miss the colorful Aspens already.

Barely Hanging On

2011-11-28T00:00:00.000-08:00

I saw these two leaves hanging on for dear life at the end of a couple of branches and it reminded me of ME so I decided to post it. I also loved the shadow too.

Speaking of hanging on. Today is the last full day of my class and I have to spend the week prepping for my final on the 5th. I wanted to let you know that I might not be able to stop by your blogs everyday. I will do my best to keep up but I didn't want you all to think I have forgotten you. Have a wonderful week everyone!

Vanishing

2011-11-27T00:00:00.000-08:00

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday.

Back for More!

2011-11-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

I still have a few more shots of the Canyon Road Paint out that I want to share. I love this artist painting of horses. She was great talking to everyone as they walked by.

Shadow

2011-11-25T00:00:00.000-08:00

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. Abraham Lincoln

I love shadows on adobe! Wishing you all a happy Friday and an even better weekend!

Being Thankful.

2011-11-24T00:00:00.000-08:00

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrates it and a wonderful day for those who don't.

Upstairs

2011-11-23T00:00:00.000-08:00

The Webster Collection a gallery near the plaza is currently showing a wonderful photography exhibit by various photographers who had taken photographs of Frida Kahlo and her artist/husband Diego Rivero. It really is something to see. Check out the link.

Contemporary Native American

2011-11-22T00:00:00.000-08:00

I like the look of this sculpture. I didn't get the name unfortunately there were alot of tourist around waiting to take a shot. This is from the archives. Just so no one thinks we still have flowers blooming. Happy Tuesday.

Gone Overboard

2011-11-21T00:00:00.000-08:00

As you will remember from Saturdays post I went to the Clay Fair. I told myself that I would add a new piece to my collection. Well to say the least and as you can see I went a bit overboard. I've added 5 new tiles to my ever growing collection! Do I have buyers remorse you might ask. Heck no!

Delicious Autumn

2011-11-20T00:00:00.000-08:00

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." George Eliot

High Stepping Reflection

2011-11-19T00:00:00.000-08:00

I was out and about shopping when I caught sight of this reflection in the mirror.

Speaking of shopping it's that time of year for the Clay Fair. My favorite tile artist Kathleen Koltes will be there. You might remember the last ones I bought. Who knows what I might will come home with.

May your Friday be Golden

2011-11-18T00:00:00.000-08:00

"A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words."
Ansel Adams

One of the many reason I love the Fall, the golden color of the leaves. Wishing you all a very happy Friday.

Getting Low

2011-11-17T00:00:00.000-08:00

Sometimes you just have to get low to capture the right color combination.

Nothing New

2011-11-16T00:00:00.000-08:00

Someone asked if I went back to see how the empty canvas in yesterdays post was developing. After making several passes along Canyon Road the only thing I saw was people sitting around and talking with the artist. After the third pass I just moved on to see the other artists.

Just the Beginning

2011-11-15T00:00:00.000-08:00

I captured this mostly for the light and the colors on the palette. If you could paint like any artist whose art work would yours resemble? I would like to paint like Amedeo Modigliani.

Painting Adobe

2011-11-14T00:00:00.000-08:00

Here is another artist working on his painting of a adobe building on Canyon Road. Wishing you all a good week!

Colorful

2011-11-13T00:00:00.000-08:00

This is one of the artists chalk tray that I shot during the Paint Out weekend on Canyon Road. When I saw it I thought of all you. You all bring me such joy with your colorful comments and the wonderful photos you post each day on your blogs. I appreciate every single one of you. Have a wonderful Sunday!

What Weekends Are All About, Fun!

2011-11-12T00:00:00.000-08:00

I love this sculpture. I found it in an area on Canyon Road that I have only ventured to a few times. It's the perfect reminder that we need to not take ourselves so serious all the time. It was a great reminder of what it was like to be a kid and just have fun. I hope your weekend plans include a little fun. This is what I am doing for fun today.

Sky Reflection

2011-11-11T00:00:00.000-08:00

I love a surprise don't you? At first sight I wasn't too thrilled with this shot until I saw the reflection of the sky and trees in the sculpture. This was taken during the Canyon Road Paint Out. So happy that I have a three day weekend starting today. I hope you all have a great Friday!

Fall Flower

2011-11-10T00:00:00.000-08:00

Before the cold weather came along these little flowers were popping up everywhere. This little field is in front of my workplace. Turns out they are called Cowboy Daises. I kind of like that name.

Nude Reflection

2011-11-09T00:00:00.000-08:00

I was standing just outside of the door of Elysee when I caught sight of this display and the reflection it was casting on the wall. Elysee is a fine art and jewelry gallery on Canyon Road.

In the Sky

2011-11-08T00:00:00.000-08:00

Here is another artist from the Canyon Road Paint Out taking a break from her painting. I wonder what she put into the sky when the painting was finished.

I shot this a few weekends back but I thought I would post something bright and cheerful. Now today we have a 50% chance of rain followed by a 50% chance of snow late in the afternoon. Here's hoping the forecasters are wrong. Here's to good week for everyone!

Time to Reflect.

2011-11-06T00:00:00.000-07:00

I caught this one while walking downtown. Talk about a coincidence. Well not matter how you choose to reflect today I hope it's a great day for you.

Oh by the way we had snow here most of the morning so no Dixon Studio tour for us today maybe tomorrow.

Garden Art

At La Mesa of Santa Fe on Canyon Road you can find these marvelous ceramic sculptures by Minnesota artist Russ Vogt. He is a painter as well as a sculptor. Click on the links for La Mesa or Mr. Vogts' website.

Another Door

2011-11-04T00:00:00.000-07:00

The door closes on another week (thank goodness). This is one of my favorite doors on Canyon Road. It's the entrance to the Adobe Gallery. Wishing you all a fun filled weekend. I am off to Dixon, NM for another Art Studio tour!

Here is another artist from the Canyon Road Paint Out and no this was not his model. This little guy was just waiting around while his owner shared his artwork.

Rust and Red

2011-11-02T00:00:00.000-07:00

We have a Coyote fence on both sides of our condo. Our neighbor also has this plant that is climbing over our fence. I love the way the leaves change to this almost Fire Red in the Fall. Happy Wednesday.

Theme Day: Fences

2011-11-01T00:00:00.000-07:00

It's the first of the month and that means Theme Day! This month's theme is Fences. Here in New Mexico you will see fences on farms, Adobe fence around homes but one of my favorites has to be the Coyote fence like the one behind the sign. They are very popular here and they can be seen all over Santa Fe.

Take some time to visit my friends from all over the world. Just one little click can take you anywhere without leaving your chair.

Looking for the Great Pumpkin

2011-10-31T00:00:00.000-07:00

I snapped this shot at a local church that is referred to as the Pumpkin Church because of the fund raiser they do every year.

Unlike Linus I will not be waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive, I will however wear my Halloween t-shirt to work. How about you, will you be dressing up for Halloween? Also I am curious if you have a favorite scary movie that you like to watch. What ever you do I hope that you have a Happy Halloween.

The More You See

2011-10-30T00:00:00.000-07:00

“You learn to see by practice. It's just like playing tennis, you get better the more you play. The more you look around at things, the more you see. The more you photograph, the more you realize what can be photographed and what can't be photographed. You just have to keep doing it.”
Eliot Porter

Inspiration

2011-10-29T00:00:00.000-07:00

Here is one of the finished paintings by one of the artist at the Canyon Road Paint Out. She was letting it dry next to the sculpture that served as her inspiration. Happy Saturday!

Art Chat

2011-10-28T00:00:00.000-07:00

This painter took a break from her painting to chat with a visitor. I wish I had capture the finished piece. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a happy Friday!

Shades of Fall

2011-10-27T00:00:00.000-07:00

I lovye the colors of Fall are my favorite unfortunately the came quick and are leaving just as fast. It rained most of yesterday and we might see more today. Glad I caught this when I did.

Painting Landscapes

2011-10-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

Here is another one of the artist who was painting in front of the Sugarman gallery during the Paint Out. She captured the New Mexico sky perfectly and she caught my attention with that Turquoise bracelet she was wearing.

On a side note, do you remember when I asked about the Dynamic template that Blogger has now. Check out Cindy's photoblog www.capecoddailyphoto.blogspot.com . When you hover over the blog title it will show you the different views your viewers can choose from.

Some Mornings

2011-10-25T00:00:00.000-07:00

Do you have those mornings when you feel wiped out? I spotted this little guy around the corner from Sunday's post. Looks like me on most Tuesdays after a long day of work and another class that I am taking.
