The soft rosy warm colors and clear warm light shine in each picture. I remember Taos very fondly though I'm sure it's quite different from my last trip there 30 years ago! I like your new website format and how easy it is to find the information you so generously share.

I live in this wonderful land of enchantment. It looks to me like you had a great time and I really enjoyed seeing your sketches. You captured the essence of this area perfectly. And, you had the yummy food as well. When you make a return trip, let me know !! Oh my gosh Martha, had I realized you were in New Mexico, we could have met for coffee !

Karen: That is a great question about sketching while traveling with others. I have often wondered how others approach it as well. When I am out with my husband he is very patient, and even sketches a bit. But when traveling with non-artists (as in this case) I don't want to hold everyone up. What I did this time was go off on my own for a couple hours here and there, and then sketched as fast as I could! I also travel alone sometimes, which I don't mind and which allows me to do the most sketching. Thank you everyone!

They have a sense of place to them. It almost makes me want to overcome being journal challenged. Almost ;D Your journals are lovely. They have a sense of place to them.

As I was reading and looking at the sketches I wondered how you negotiate the "we" and the sketching. It seems a tough balance when I've traveled with people to be able to capture nice sketches while not boring them to death. But maybe you were traveling with other artists ...

I'm getting the idea of how you use your sketch book on your travels. Sounds like great fun in New Mexico. My husband & I took a trip to Cancun, Mexico in Sept. I did some sketching there. They do have lots of color too. Thanks for sharing. Andrea Hi!
