A Slice of New Mexico

Newly New Mexico

​The weather in northern New Mexico has been pleasant, allowing walks along the Santa Fe River (actually flowing with snowmelt!) and end-of season apple picking. I had bright blue skies as I drove down to Albuquerque to install my art for permanent display. The State of New Mexico purchased my Original Collage, “Hear the Echoes” and I brought it to its forever home. The art is now installed on the 3rd floor of the Tiwa Building, located at Broadway Blvd. and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, in downtown Albuquerque.  I had assistance from Daniel, the helpful custodian of the Tiwa Building, and Rebecca Sisneros, who is overseeing all the art installation in the newly remodeled building.  They are developing an amazing collection of art by New Mexicans.

Recycle Rides Again

​But I had no time to linger and had to postpone my celebration – I am so busy getting ready for my big show of the year, the Recycle Santa Fe Art Festival. I look forward every year to setting up my booth to show my latest creations.  This year, I am bringing several of my large, framed collages, including “Andromeda”, “Limitless Undying Love”, “Loosen Your Soul”, “Night Vision”, “Still Life”, and “Summer Storm.”  So, if you have had a hankering to own an Original Collage, this may be the moment to step up to the counter.  By Sunday afternoon, I will be happy to cut a deal!

​Of course, I will have other favorites on hand to tickle your fancy.  I will bring all the card collections, posters, and journals, and tuck your purchases into a bag of recycled paper. 

​And prints!  Many of my favorites, plus the brand new “Snowy Starry Night”!

"Snowy Starry Night"

"The Bs' Lament"

Loosen Your Soul"

​The Recycle Show starts on Friday night (November 13), with a (cheap!) admission fee, $5, and includes the exuberant Trash Fashion Show.  Saturday and Sunday are free and includes even more vendors.  All these events are inside the Santa Fe Convention Center, 201 W. Marcy Street.

And a slice of pie

​Meanwhile, I am packing my crates and counting my boxes.  But I still take time to enjoy the beauty near my home – my yard is bursting with red, gold and green.  The apple tree still has hundreds of apples!!! What am I going to do with all these apples? Apple pie! Apple cake! Apple cobbler! And New Mexico’s apple and green chile empanadas!

Love & Peace,

Deco

See you at the Show!
