The weather in Santa Fe New Mexico is starting to warm up and spring is in the air. However this area is well know for its ability to get snow into and through the month of April. Being a person who loves the warm weather, I need to wait until the end of May before heading out for some Plein Air work. I love to go up into the Sangre de Christo mountains up to about 9,000 feet above sea level and paint the aspens. The mountain has 10's of thousands and they are beautiful in all seasons.
I also venture up to Llano de San Juan off the high road to Taos, which is pretty much a desserted town with perhaps 10 or so families living there. It is an old farming town with some farming still going on but those who have left have left behind their homes which are falling victim to time and neglect. A wonderful area for all types of artists with many artistic creating opportunities.
Further up the high road to Taos there are many other artistic opportunities with little hamlets and old churches and pretty much 100's of other sights to catch the artistic eye.
Just beyond Taos is the little town of Arroyo Secco and from the name you can just imagine the artistic opportunities awaiting the artistic eye.
Well,..............the end of May is not far off.
