VIEW FROM MY TAOS WINDOW

26 January 2009 -- Good Morning from Taos! -- This is the view from my kitchen window -- I have looked at this scene for almost twenty years now and it never appears quite the same. Some years ago my neighbor built a pond in front of his barn and every so often a pair of whooping cranes just fly by to my great delight! This week I am really busy blocking in new paintings for my May exhibit -- will resume posts and auctions next week. Stay tuned. DC
