and not only get an excellent drink served by a friendly bartendress, you also get to experience these wonderful colorful paintings. The magic of Santa Fe is that it is full of places like this cantina called The Pink Adobe.The building itself is very old and authentic adobe. You just feel you are back in time with the thick plaster walls and the vigas.
This was just such a nice day for me! I just loved being in the presence of so much lovely art. Yes, it had the classic Santa Fe theme, but it was still good art.
The last group of paintings I have posted here are mostly abstract, and those are nearest to my heart. The little tiny window up to the right is also classic Santa Fe. They put little windows in some of the oddest spots. It was so tiny and so cute.
The sky here really is the magic ingredient for most painters. It really is a different sky. You wont find the light you get here in any other state.
After this little escape I wandered out back into the downtown area and just soaked up the antiquety of the town. Santa Fe is the oldest continually inhabited city in the United States and you can really feel the age of the town when you walk around.
