    This is an excellent piece, thanks for sharing it. May I ask what size it is? What kind of paper is it on?

    I especially like the colors and texture of the rock - it's vibrant, yet subtly patterned, and seems to be quite accurate. Is this an actual place? If so, where is it?

    Thanks again for sharing, and I'm sorry about all the questions. Your sentiments are particularly meaningful to me - some of my best friends were injured in 9/11. Their lives were saved by those courageous and brave emergency crews.

    Thank you Julie, Gwen and Logan.

    Logan I am glad to hear your friends survived, but sorry to read of their injuries.

    I believe the pastel is approximately 12"w x 18"h unframed. The image is the gateway into the church at Taos Pueblo, Taos New Mexico.

    The skies are always such a deep blue, that makes the white cross very majestic and a wonderful contrast to the adobe structure.

    I used to live in Albuquerque with gallery
    representation in Taos, so visited the Pueblo frequently. It's very inspirational to me.
