The girls called us on the way en route and left us a message that they wanted to paint in Pilar. We had just passed the Pilar turnoff that winds through Taos Junction and so we decided to try it. I had never gone that way so it was nice seeing where that road from Taos Junction actually went.
About the painting- I had painted from this exact spot a week earlier- (the cute little red and white church) and really wasn't into painting the church again so I painted this little house looking toward the eastern part of Pilar. This was the perfect time to paint this house as the trees were the perfect spring green - just budding out and it was a view that didn't need any changing or rearranging- I could paint it exactly the way it looked. New Mexico is so inspiring this time of year.
We went to Peg Immel's house and bugged her- she was working hard on a retablo until we showed up- she is such a wonderful hostess and never acts like we are imposing on her - hopefully she will get it done.
