HOUSE ON THE MORA ROAD Daily Painting #599

HOUSE ON THE MORA ROAD / 6 x 6 Inches / Oil on Panel / ©John Farnsworth

On Saturday’s drive from Las Vegas, New Mexico, to Taos, I spotted this little derelict house nestled in a bend in the road. I wonder, was it built there before, or after the road passed by so close? Probably, when it was built, the road was simply a dirt lane, and much less imposing. Even though I was exhausted, and my eyes felt like they’d been sandpapered by all the dust at the branding earlier in the day, I thoroughly enjoyed the drive. There are many interesting structures along the way, and many interesting compositions begging to be recorded.

It snowed here today, and more is forecast for tonight. I’m ready to get to warmer climes, and hope to get some good images on my way tomorrow, if the snow lasts a while. The snow is beautiful, but the cold and wind are not so wonderful.

Still not on the road, but we did get out of town this evening, following dinner at the Guadalajara Grill. Out to Arroyo Hondo, that is, for a bit of dancing at Herb’s Lounge with our friends the Immels. The cover charge collector sitting in front of the blue door, surrounded by orange and yellow walls caught my eye. Had to paint it.

Nope, haven’t quite hit the road yet, though I’ve been on it a lot. Hauling stuff from Santa Fe to Taos. Finished unloading the last big truck full today, then a quick drive back down to pick up Betsy and the Kelvinator, our GMC Safari van, both stuffed to the gills.

I need to make one more quick trip to pick up the last few items, take care of some details, and pick up panels at Artisans. Then back to Taos to finish packing and putting things away. A bit of recuperation, and it will be time, past time, to head to warmer climes.

This move has been a killer. I swear I’ve put on ten years. I feel like a thirty year old! Actually, I turned 71 today, the 4th. I swear the numbers got reversed somehow. Shouldn’t they read 17 instead?!? All kidding aside, I’m not bothered at all by turning 71. I’m prepared to face the beginning of middle age head on!

By the way, Betsy performed like a champ tonight on the drive up to Taos. Looks like she’s rarin’ to go. I know I am. And I hope you’ll all come along with us.

Today’s image is of the clouds breaking up on our drive yesterday:

WASHDAY, TAOS Daily Painting #579

Well, Gang. The snow has stopped, but the problems haven’t. Nothing serious, just a move that is much larger and slower-moving than anticipated Weather’s looking better for tomorrow, which will be a real help. We still have a large truck and two vans to unload.

Of course, my laptop has chosen this perfect time to act up and refuse to do some necessary things. So far, haven’t been able to post today’s painting, but will try again. If it doesn’t work this time, I’m going to have to hit the hay, and try double posting tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience. Things should be back to normal soon. I’m hoping to be on the road in the next few days, but don’t want to rush things as this is what happens when I do. OK, here goes:
