Abiquiu Morada


Original Watercolor
4"x 6" matted to 8"x10"
$50.00

I continue to be inspired by my painting trip to Santa Fe and surrounding area this summer with artist Carol Gardner.  I blogged that trip at Have Paintbrush Will Travel but I'll be posting all my artwork since return here.  The day after we arrived and got settled in Santa Fe, we immediately took off toward O'Keefe country, i.e., Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch and the likes.  This morada, now a private chapel, high on the hill of Abiquiu and overlooking the main highway, is one of the earliest moradas in New Mexico, built as a religious meeting place by members of The Penitente Brotherhood, a group of Catholic laymen.
