With the adobe church in the background the scene has the adobe church on the left and its gloriously old willow creating a stunning frame for the scene. Below it sits an old 1938 Chevy pickup that is slowly losing its color to the weather.

It goes with the attitude that was told me by a New Mexico native that what is there is basically apart of the land. Painting is 11 inch by 14 inch.

The three quarter view of the Santuario de Chimayo, NM east of Espanola on NM 76 sitting in a shallow valley is the shrine at Chimayo. History says that a local sheepherder was tending the flock and he found a cross with the body of Christ carved in the folk Hispanic tradition and custom. He took the cross to the nearest priest in Santa Cruz to the west and left it. After his trip to Santa Cruz his flock gathered around a particular location near the stream. There he found the cross in the original location he had found it before. Thus he came to understand this is where Christ wished him to build a chapel. The current Santuario is that shrine where many people have found healing from the earth found at the Santuario's location even to this day. The Santuario is considered a holy place by many because of the many healings that have happened there. Painted on 12 inch by 16 inch panel in oil.

The view is the altar end or apse end of San Jose de Gracias de las Trampas, an old charming adobe church which dates back to the beginnings of the 1700s.

The King of Spain granted the descendants the right to settle in the valley in 1706 which sits in its own green valley running east and west south of the populated area around Penasco and the Picuris Indian Pueblo.

The painting depicts two Pueblo Indians riding back to their Picuirs Pueblo home to the north with their newly acquired horses.

The inspiration for this painting was when I was visiting the Santa Fe area and stopped by this local adobe chapel at Canoncito which is adjacent to I-25 which passes in front of this attractive chapel. One of the five families that help maintain the chapel had parked their F-150 pickup in front of the chapel. The tailgate was down and they were bringing into the chapel flaralettos and other decorative Christmas items along with a tree. I thought the situation would make a nice painting so I pushed the time back 100 years into the past. So it is 1900 to 1910 and since cardboard boxes were not available I had the decorative items in old wood vegetable and fruit crates. I found the labeled crates on the internet by their time period. Flaralettos are brown paper bags with sand in the bottom to hold the candle. Go to Santa Fe over Christmas and they decorate many of the building there.

The San Acacio adobe church sits all alone in Colorado's San Luis Valley. It is located west of nearby San Luis with its very old Hispanic community which settled in the area in the early 1800s. The scene is a late winter snow covering with the willows giving off their bright orangish color just before spring. The settlements were built at that time like a fort with the plaza in the center and the dwellings surrounding it. That was a defense against the Indian raids that came over the nearby pass. Eventually the U.S. set up a military post at Fort Garland which ended the regular Comanche raids. Settlements from the south could not establish themselves due to those raids. The Comanche raids ended the Pueblo at Pecos in the 1700s and all that remains are the melted adobe structures.

This is a striking family chapel named after Nuestra Senora de la Luz. it sits along the old the old Santa Fe Trail road with that road in front climbing off to the east toward Glorita Pass.. The family chapel is maintained by 5 nearby families. The chapel was built in 1811 and off to the east side there is a road back to a valley. In 1862 the 2500 man Confederate cavalry from Texas which had taken control of all of the populated areas of New Mexico had quartered their horses and supply wagons in that valley. They dismounted to meet the 500 Union soldiers following the Santa Fe Trail with the 1000 man Colorado Volunteer contingent. They met at Glorita Pass. As the battle was raging a Major Chivington with a group of his Colorado Volunteer contingent climbed up the hills to the south of the Trail and worked their way to the valley behind the Texans.

This is a striking family chapel named after Nuestra Senora de la Luz. It is located along the old Santa Fe Trail road with the road in front climbing to the left toward Glorieta Pass. One of the note of this chapel that is maintained by near by families is it was built in 1811 and in the valley nearby the Confederate cavalry had their supply wagons and horses quartered. During the Civil War 2500 Confederates met 1000 Colorado Volunteers and 500 Union soldiers from Fort Union north of Las Vegas, NM. The battle was an engagement where the Confederate dismounted cavalry attacked the line of Union soldiers and volunteers. The Union side would do a strategic retreat to set up another line that the cavalry troops would attack. It was a way of depleting the attacking forces. But the blow that won the battle for the Union side was Major Chivington of the volunteers with a group of men traveled the ridge to the south and came in and over took the Confederate wagons and burned the wagons and shot the horses. Once the cavalry commander found out this action he surrendered. So ended the Confederate effort to head for California. Their ultimate goal was also the Colorado gold fields. This occurred in 1862. Same chapel can be seen in the painting Bringing in the Christmas Trim.

Similar churches with this mission style are found in many of the Indian Pueblos such as San Ildefonso just outside Española. It has been well maintained and preserved and is used as a working church for the area. Las Trampas is north of Ojo Sarco and Penasco on the high road.

This mission has the chapel seen on the left and the long living quarters and shops with its covered walkway coming out to the right. The whole complex is made of adobe stuccoed over to give it its white glow. Originally the roof was thatched but as time went on it had a red tiled roof added. It is one of the last missions founded. It now belongs to the State of California and thus is maintained by the State. It sits on the northeast corner of the center plaza of the city. The building off on the left is also part of the mission and was the stables and shops.

Pikes Peak along with Longs Peak were outstanding landmarks for the very earliest explorers. Pike left for the area where Colorado is to explore the region for the government newly purchased from France in the Louisiana Purchase. Lewis and Clark was also sent by Thomas Jefferson with that same mission of discovery. Pike could see Pikes Peak over a hundred miles to the east as can still be enjoyed.

An enjoyable adventure can be had by traveling the Rampart Range Road that traverses the top of the very front wall of the Front Range from Woodland Park on the south near Pikes Peak to Colorado 67 which comes out from Sedalia , CO on U.S. 85. The views out east allow an overlook of Colorado Springs, the Air Force Academy, Monument Hill, the buttes around Larkspur and Castle Rock. But the most enjoyable view is to look south toward Pikes Peak as shown in the drawing. The view is during the winter and the higher elevations have snow, a bit lower the snow has evaporated.

Noel, the little French girl. Well actually she is from Denver but studied French and also went to the University of Denver where I met her as she fulfilled her role as student monitor. Her French story was sort of a disaster for her. She went over to Toulouse France for a year at the university but the students decided to have a strike. So she could not go to school but at least she spent her year in France. Quite an attractive young lady.

Beatrix had this long hair that when it fell had complex spiraling curves as it fell. The contrast in this small oil piece between her glowing complexion and hair and her cooler scarf which allowed her warm features to pop. Having a greenish cool background also adds to that contrasting pop.

Brandi had a blouse that was pulled down so the painting could achieve a sort of look of a transparent white laying thinly over her frame. Her hair was somewhat unraveled and was like a complement to the wavy top edging of the blouse.

I never caught the name of this girl as she posed but only for one time. It was spring and she was comfortable posing. She had long slowing hair. Painting this portrait along with the others is fascinating in how our features can be so totally unique yet all fall into the very tight rules of placement no matter the person. All people fulfill the placement rules no matter the face is tall, narrow, wide or squat.

Patrica is an outdoor lady. She runs or bikes everywhere and is in the elements no matter the time of year or weather. She is old enough to have grandchildren. I am not certain they partake in this more energetic life style she has chosen. Her hair can be windblown, her checks always rosy due to her being outside so much. A quick sketch of older model and her hair is incomplete because the pose was cut short.

Loni has a face that is long and thin and drawn out with compact lips, thin nose which is starkly different. Faces are most interesting and gives a glimpse back into time and her ancestry as it moves to her present.

I was looking at small photo images in black and white that were made in the 1860s until the 1900s. This photo of Man Packs the Eagle was taken in the late 1860s and he was an active brave of the Sioux tribe, which band was not recorded. I interpreted his face paint and buckskin jacket, peace pipe with what their colors were then but I added the trade goods cloth wrapping in blue and red as a color that most likely would have appealed to him. Blue could not be obtained with natural pigments from plants as was the custom.

From the age of White Calf the photo of him was taken about the 1880s. He strikes a pose that is so typical of the Indian and is an emblem of his heritage. I remember the Indian head nickel of old and his features and profile pose remind me of that coin. As is most of the time of these photos taken to record what is still there then and would vanish soon very little is known of the Indian posing for posterity other than perhaps name and tribe.

Yellow Buffalo Bull is decked out with feather and scarf and metal medallions around his neck. Still wearing buckskin shirt the only clue about him is his graying hair which suggests a date the photo was taken many years after his warring pursuits. The painting is an interpretation of a photo taken in 1910.
