ABOUT THE PAINTING:

THE CITY DIFFERENT: Acrylic on canvas, 40 x 30 IN.

I had never been to Santa Fe until a couple years ago. I immediately fell in love with it and have now been back several times. I’m not sure what it is about that town. It’s got this mystique for folks and that’s not just because it’s in the state known as “the Land of Enchantment”.

It’s been a Mecca for artists, tourists and green chili lovers since the dawn of forever. It’s the 3rd oldest city in the country and has such a rich, colorful history. It was the colors that I brought home in my mind’s eye which inspired this piece, also the pueblos with their simple styles, the gorgeous turquoise jewelry and geometric patterns of the native textiles.

So, this is a postcard of love to that fair place, known as The City Different because of all the different cultures which are its makeup: Native Americans, Spaniards, Mexicans, and Anglos. For me, it’ll always be a jewel, hence the jewel tones which memory painted this canvas.
