On the road to Arroyo Seco, just to the north of Taos, New Mexico, is this scene whose small ruin is overwhelmed by the beauty of the high-altitude light on the background mountain and autumn foliage. The sun-bleached timbers of the building have their own sparkle, set off by the darks within the structure. Joyous color contrasts make this painting special.
