New Mexico

In the back of my store cupboard I came across this painting of the

Picuris Pueblo. The day we spent there was fascinating. The Picuris

people were delighted that I was prepared to pay the $25 for

permission to draw and paint. Sitting there drawing the scene above,

a mini tornado thingy whipped across the square sending sketch pad

flying and mouth and eyes were full of dust.

The next morning I had to visit a doctor to get treatment for my

eye.

The joys of working outdoors.
