Santa Fe Adobe, Landscape Art. Contemporary Landscape Paintings, Southwestern Art, Colorado Artist Carol Hein

Santa Fe Adobe, 9 by 12 original oil painting. This beautiful little adobe home sits on Canyon Road, the epicenter of the art world in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I was last there a few years ago with a good friend. Time for another trip! It's snowing here today - not ready for this. Been hard at work on a new picture that is not cooperating and may end up in the reject pile. Off for some R&R. Tomorrow's another day and the unfinished painting will still be there.

September Light, Contemporary Landscape Paintings, Landscape Art, Southwestern Art, Farms, Colorado Artist Carol Hein

It has been abandoned but the Colorado Historical Society is in the process of restoring it.

Are You Listening? Figurative Art, Figurative Paintings, Colorado Artist Carol Hein

My daughter-in-law and I enjoyed a great conversation, coffee and a sweet roll at a local farmer's market on a recent Saturday. The whole time this fellow texted while his lady friend tried to carry on a one sided conversation. As you can tell from her body language, she was not a happy camper.
