I have noticed that in describing the paintings for my website I have been telling my life story. This trip to Taos was the third trip out west. I spent a winter and spring. It was a sabbatical after my youngest boy graduated from Tulane in New Orleans. I had studied Mental Yoga for all my adult life and I had the opportunity to put into practice the principles in that discipline. I tell the story in an ebook from a few years ago.
