Painting in Beautiful Abiquiu, NM - I know why Georgia O'Keeffe loved These Vistas so much!!

Last week I painted in one of my favorite places, Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch,  New Mexico.  The time of year could not have been better, as the monsoons have left the desert a-blaze with wildflowers and green grass.  The contrast between the greenery and the red rocks are fabulous.  I was painting with Albert Handell with his paint-a-long Mentor-ship group.  It was a fun and creative week with six other artist from Colorado and New Mexico.  These are most of the paintings from that week.
