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.

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.

SHADOWED ADOBE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame $150 + $15 insured priority shipping A bit different from my skies huh? I've been running a lot - so much more than normal - so decided to veer in a different direction. Perhaps I'm seeking a bit of solitude and searching for a quiet corner to escape? Shadows are good places to hide and I found a little adobe alcove that will do the trick, so sneaking off. Bye!
