EARTH + THE SKY

WINDOW + A CLOUD
4 1/2" X 4 1/2" pastel
8" square white archival matte, glass and gold leaf frame
$150 + $15 insured priority shipping

The sky was so blue and the sun extremely bright today, as I spent much of the day outside. As time passed, I begun to reminisce of Taos Pueblo.

Taos was one of my favorite locations to visit when I lived in Albuquerque. The contrast of the adobe buildings against the blue sky was always visually exhilarating. There's such a dark richness in the brown color of an adobe, yet so many other colors were apparent upon closer scrutiny. And the organic shape of the walls emanated an Earthy feel.

But above all, I felt a comforting unification between the Earth and the blue sky as I stood in awe in front of the Pueblo.
