We could have done something like this in #Taos #NewMexico.

Instead, we've turned the old town into one trash filled giant parking lot surrounded by speedways.

Loved seeing Sarah and Jonathan in Taos so much! We have the best conversations and hugs.

I’ll leave a link to some of her writing about rust and fabric.

Former Home of Russian-born Nicolai Fechin in Taos Houses Glimpse into the Soul of an Artist and an Era The current exhibition at Taos Art Museum at Fechin House, "Nicolai Fechin: Figures, Nature, and Expression," showcases the namesake creator’s remarkable versatility.

An exhibition at #Taos Art Museum at Fechin House, "Nicolai Fechin: Figures, Nature, and Expression," showcases the namesake creator’s versatility. Known more for his portraits than landscape paintings, both reflect his ethos of showing things as they are, not as an #artist might want them to be.

This is terrifying. This is the weather forecast for #taos #newmexico… not in May or June, but March - next week. I just read too that #skisantafe is closing now, way early. #taosskivalley can’t be far behind. There’s been no snow and zero in the forecast. Policies have decimated tourism, now this.
