SKETCH OF A TREE

pastel on paper

I was fortunate and had a short reprieve with a trip to

northern New Mexico and Colorado. Wonderful

to have a get-a-way!

First day we went to the Aztec Ruins. This National Park

has one of the finest and largest Kivas I have ever visited.

A beautiful blue, sunny day!

Then traveled up to Durango to see the colors of the fall

trees, with a walk through their historic downtown, before

heading to Lake Vallecito. Here we spent 2 evenings in a

quaint cabin. The last day we took a day-trip to Silverton.

Above is a small sketch I created sitting at the lake and below

is a picture of the fall trees and a slice of Silverton.
