We’ve had a wonderful trip, and Steve painted over 70 paintings and took over 3,000 photographs. This is such a beautiful country and there is so much to see and we only saw a fraction of it, but we loved every place we got to visit. We plan to go back to a few of the locations, and in the next year or two go on another long painting trip. It was icing on the cake to see all the friends and family we got to see.
This will be the last blog of this painting trip with the picture of snow in the mountains above Taos, and the view from our front door this morning. But there may be one or two more blogs with pictures from Taos after the “Lighting of LeDoux Street” on December 11th, and perhaps of December in Taos which is “magical”.
We appreciate you following the blog and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did doing it.

I really enjoyed your trip to the east and beyond! Do you have plans for a west coast trip with paintings and blog writting?
