TBT This was 9 years ago up in the Sangre de Christo Mountains above Santa Fe during a snowstorm. It was pretty wonderful up there.

TBT Monsoon season in New Mexico is pretty amazing. Often at night we would see these lightning storms off in the distance traveling over the mountains. This is from our back yard outside of Santa Fe six years ago.

TBT Looking out over the spring landscape here in Portugal, it's hard to believe that 8 years ago I was walking in a snowstorm up in the mountains above Santa Fe.

TBT This is eight years ago in the mountains above Santa Fe. It was a really beautiful and intense snow storm, really transforming Adam's Meadow a ways above Aspen Vista Trail.

TBT Maisie McRae and Nikolai Alexeivich on one of our dawn walks outside of Santa Fe four years ago. A different world.

TBT Two years ago, shortly before we drove with our dogs to Chicago to fly to our new home in Portugal, I spent a morning up in the mountains as the aspens were turning. It was a really lovely and quiet foggy morning up there.

TBT This is from a bushwhack hike up into the Sangre de Christo Mountains above Santa Fe. This view reminded me of the famous Gustav Klimt painting, 'Buchenwald'.

TBT Twelve years ago I had recently moved to Santa Fe from the Bay Area in California. This is from an early fall hike up into the Sangre de Christo Mountains on the Rio En Medio trail. It was the beginning of a big love for this landscape.

Two years ago on this day, we were in the middle of the race to get our house packed up and ready to sell for the move to Portugal. I went out for a dawn walk in this very differently beautiful New Mexico landscape.

Aspens in Snow, Late Afternoon 36" x 48 Oil On Panel
I'm not sure, but I think this might finally be finished. It's been sitting not quite finished for a quite a while now, scowling at me when I go into the studio. This is a from a hike up into the mountains above Santa Fe late in the day in winter.
