Abiquiu Colors is a love letter to the luminous heart of New Mexico. Inspired by days spent wandering the Chama River, breathing in the scent of chamisa, and listening to the rattle of the cottonwoods in the breeze, this painting distills the region’s vibrant palette into pure visual poetry. The startling blue of the sky, the shifting hues of ancient cliffs, and the wild asters along the roadside—the sensory experience is woven together in a tapestry of memory and place.

Created in the afterglow of a journey shared with a dear friend, Abiquiu Colors is an invitation. Each mark carries the magic and inspiration of those days, offering viewers a chance to feel the same sense of wonder and connection. Let the spirit of Abiquiu—its beauty, its light, its quiet joy—find its way to your heart.
