When spent a month in New Mexico with a friend, they shared with me the directions to many iconic landmarks. On my way to an old Mission, not far from Ghost Ranch, when seeing these painted cliffs could not resist to detour off of the dirt road that was on, to a much smaller dirt road/path. As explored the area, came upon this scene. The colors, the history, the shade of the sky even against the painted cliffs, with also the shade of the sage leading you up a dirt weathered path. As an artists was determined to attempt to depict all before me. Actually ended up spending a couple days here, just doing color studies. Painted a majority of this painting on location.
