More San Juan Mountains

Here is a painting of the view from my mom's house minus the garden. Yucca plants, and small green plants with tiny yellow flowers and purple grassy plants grow here and there on their own in the dirt that matches the color raw sienna. There are also lots of Juniper trees, but not in this picture. I think Northwest New Mexico is lovely. One house in her neighborhood has a small patch of green grass and it looks out of place. When I came home again it was surprising to smell the rain and green-ness as soon as I stepped out of the car. It is too bad we can't send our extra rain their way.
