Thanks, Mary. For some reason, i struggled a lot with this post...wanting to make it light and fun. (Also, I had problems sizing the photos--especially the emails. The Substack app works OK ) I have had doubts about my painting of the church near Taos. Putting it on the same page as a van Gogh or a de Bock takes a drink or two. It was very cold that day and my hands kept freezing. I wanted to get the hope of a rising sun and whatever warmth it could bring--along with the spirits of the mountains.

I absolutely loved this column today. What you wrote, and the art/pictures you chose. I had never seen the first painting shown, your own, buts it’s glorious!
