House #29 - Southwest 1

A Painted House A Day
House #29
Southwest 1

I finished my Poppy Series and my next series will be inspired from the Southwest states.

I have spent time living and traveling in the Southwest. I went to college at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff,  AZ, traveled to New Mexico. ..Albuquerque and Santa Fe, while we lived at Fort Bliss in El Paso,  TX.
I love the Adobe houses and the colors of the Southwest. The wide open skies and vistas along with the texture of the land is breathtaking.
I purchased this pot while living in El Paso,  and I'm sure it will bring inspiration to this series.
