When you wander the side streets of Santa Fe, you turn a corner and find images like this. I painted this scene from a photo I took a year ago. The newly opened leaves, the delicate April air and the soft breezes were enchanting. Perhaps going from sea level to an altitude of 7,100 caused that reaction, but I prefer to think it was because I was in New Mexico, The Land of Enchantment.

Hello Jane, I am teaching a Plein Air Workshop in Downtown Charleston May 30-June 2nd and would love to invite you to attend. Your talent and kind demeanor would be a wonderful enhancement to the group!! Let me know if you might be interested. We are gathering at the Vendue Rooftop Bar Tuesday May 29th at 4:00 for those out-of-towners new to the area if you’d like to attend that and get to know the group. It would be a joy to see you and paint with you again!! Much love, Mary L. Hoffmanhttp://www.maryhoffmanfineart.com http://maryspaintingaday.blogspot.com/ P (843) 693-9601

The whole composition is delightful, but I particularly like the leaves on the tree. It captures the ephemeral nature of Spring.
