The beginnings of a mural.

The young must challenge

Here’s another image from that pop-up art show we went to the other evening. The building’s lost its roof, but still has some charm, I think. It has art, too, which makes anything better.

An art lover

“Compose and wait.”

I’ve taken two classes with Sam Abell, and he stressed that concept both times. (He practices it, too – look at his work and you can tell!)

I am not a patient person so composing and waiting doesn’t naturally occur. But look what happens when I actually c-&-w! An art lover – though she appears to be a little skeptical about this particular piece – steps right into my composition, just where I needed her to be.

Thanks, art lover!

Art from a vending machine

I really like it when old places get to have a new life.

So I pretty happy that this ruin may be getting another chance. A local group worked on cleaning up the place and then hosted a pop-up art show the other Saturday. A local ceramics artist, Kendra McCartney, used this vintage vending machine to sell her tiny pots.

Here’s a news report on the project. And maybe the place is haunted?

An exuberance

The array of summer flowers is dependent on winter moisture; every summer looks a little different. These flowers got plenty of whatever it was they needed – they were blooming all over the northeastern corner of New Mexico.
