2 DOORS + WHITE CLOUDS - 6 " x 9" southwest pastel landscape by Susan Roden

2 DOORS + WHITE CLOUDS  6"h x 9" w pastel museum glass, gold fillet + linen liner   11 1/2" h x 14 1/2"w gold frame $395 + $20 insured shipping  Sadly time flies where life caught up with me.  I've been missing for so long, but unfortunately my iMac  died some time ago, and has taken me some time replacing  software and computer. Isn't technology amazing?  So nearly up and running and thought I better resurface.  The above pastel is an older and favorite of mine. If you've ever visited New Mexico, would be familiar with Taos Pueblo.  The serenity and spirits of the place is overwhelming, with a wonderful setting of blue skies and white clouds.    Thank you for sticking by me and will be here more often.  New art coming your way! 

A RETURN VISIT

2 TURQUOISE DOORS 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte,, glass + gold leaf frame $150 + $15 insured priority shipping Back in March I posted a few petite pastels of Taos Pueblo. And that is where we're traveling once again today! The Pueblo's colors are always so vibrant in the bright sun, which casts long shadows to every nook and cranny. One of the most predominate color is turquoise. One can find it on door frames, window trim and of course precious stones in their jewelry. And you will find an immense blanket of turquoise if you look up to the sky.

AN ESCAPE TO A NEW MEXICO DAY

PINK DOOR 4"h x 6"w With the sun out and the sky bright in San Diego, I can not help but reminisce a bit of New Mexico. I had lived there prior to moving to San Diego and my two children still reside (okey, they aren't kids any longer, but I still think of them in those terms!). The skies are so blue and seems to travel upwards forever. Makes me feel so small, yet full of life. One of my favorite places to visit was the Taos Pueblo. I would wander around, stare at the colors and loose the time of day. The Pueblo is such an enrichment of colors, culture, landscape and food.
