Chaco Canyon is my most favorite place to paint in New Mexico.
The energies, the views, the night skies, the history, the buildings, the canyon walls—
all contribute to magnificent paintings done in the campground.
I usually spend two to three days camping, meditating and hiking before completing a canvas.
I had recently attended sunrise ceremony at Kiva Rinconada for Summer Solstice
and a Full Moon and came back and this incredible painting emerged.
