I am helping out some dear friends in Corrales/Albuquerque, New Mexico for a while. I will be here for an extended time. I brought my art materials but in light of the seriousness of my stay here, I am not sure how often i will get to them. I have always come here as a way to relax and dream. New Mexico is my happy place. This time is different. As i drive to a hospital or a rehabilitation center, grocery story, etc. i have to remind myself to look at those beautiful skies and mountains you love so much. I realize very clearly that places are important, but it is the people in your life that always take first place in our hearts.
