A GREEN DOOR - 6 x 6 pastel

A GREEN DOOR
6" x 6" pastel
glass + gold frame
$275 + $10 insured priority shipping


The day was sunny with clouds floating high 
above . . .  a glorious day for an adventure!
And what better place to travel to than the Taos Pueblo
steeped in history, culture and art?

At my destination, I wandered down a dusty path, 
with an alley that led to a weathered, green door. 
Not permitted to pass, I begun to wonder what
 secrets did that door hold?

How many lives entered . . .
how many smiles glowed . . . 
how many tears shed?


Only the door knows.

    Thank you Kathy and Dana.

    If neither one of you have ever been to Taos Pueblo, I definitely recommend it. Feel at peace with the Earth there.
