Back to Santa Fe

We didn't find good stuff in Taos so back to Santa Fe we went.

But we stopped at Shidoni on the way because there was a miniature by Daniel P. Kronberg that kept calling to me. (I hope that link keeps working but it might go away once the web site is told that it's been sold. I'll have to get my own picture of it but it's already packed.) It's so adorable! We have another piece by him, an orca.

Then we headed into Santa Fe. We fed a meter with about two hours time and looked around the plaza. We didn't find anything there that we had to have so we went back to Canyon Road.

We bought a sculpture for the side of our garage that we see from our living room window. It's a bronze piece by Destiny Allison from the Winterowd Fine Art gallery. We went into the gallery and told the woman working there that we had seen the pieces on their outside wall a few days ago and had come back for a second look. She introduced herself as Karla Winterowd, the director of the gallery. She couldn't contain her enthusiam for Ms. Allison's work. We like it, too, so we bought it. It's called "Intuition." It will be delivered next week.

Intuition

It will dress up the house nicely.

If that weren't enough, we went back to La Mesa of Santa Fe. They have accessories for your house. And they have glass pieces by Melissa Haid. We got a piece of hers in Madrid many years ago. We need to dress up the living room window some more (the Destiny Allison piece isn't enough, you ask?). We're thinking that this piece will do the job (it's the one near the ceiling).
I didn't realize that I had the camera in the car. So I used my phone's camera for these pictures. Better this than nothing, huh?

It's been a very productive trip.

I can't wait to see everything put up. Your house will be a museum, soon...oh, wait...it already is!

That piece looks incredible. Very good taste!
