I've visited Santa Fe off and on for more than twenty years. We always feel rejuvenated by the wonder of that place. The stunning landscape. The history. The culture. The cold-war-spy-intrigue. True story.

Above all there is the art. The amazing, world class art. I've been to every gallery on Canyon road 174.2 times. I admire the art. We've purchased the art. I've even day dreamed of seeing my art in one of those galleries. One afternoon I decided to finally do some art. 

I trekked into the hills. I found a clearing and set up my supplies. I had four pieces of paper. A few choice colors of paint, and a piece of campfire charcoal. I discovered some old cactus, and grabbed some sticks for my brushes. Mostly, I used dirt. The beautiful red dirt. It informs everything about these pieces. Some paint the landscape. I paint with the landscape.

And the spy thing? See for yourself. https://www.amazon.com/Spys-Guide-Santa-Fe-Albuquerque-ebook/dp/B0052F73MG
