Top Ten Reasons for an Artist to Live in Santa Fe

"Evening Clouds", Oil on Panel, 9x7 inches
Jerry Lebo, 2006

We arrived back in Washington DC late yesterday, so I thought I'd end my postings with a top ten list--and a cloud painting from our last trip in 2006. So here it goes, my list of the top ten reasons for artists to move to Santa Fe....

Number 10: Lots of art galleries
Number 9: Tourists with lots of money--who buy paintings
Number 8: Good weather
Number 7: Friendly people
Number 6: Big artist community
Number 5: Green Chile (and red sometimes)
Number 4: Mountain views
Number 3: Proximity to lots of interesting places to paint
Number 2: The smell of the Pinon trees after the rain

and the Number 1 reason to move to Santa Fe if you are an artist...

THE CLOUDS!!

So there you go. Hope you enjoyed my postings from Santa Fe, I am in the process of getting my studio set up for some Maryland and DC painting--which I hope to be able to give you a sample of in the next few days. All the best. Sixtyminuteartist.

Do you know where you can get good green chilie in the DC area? The best we have found is at Trader Joe's. Jerry

We were in Santa Fe some 13 years ago (we're from Europe), and yes, it is everything you say. The colors (and people, and food...)are just great over there. I wish we could hop over from time to time, I immediately fell in love with the area.

My son and his family live in Albuquerque, so I've gotten to know NM very well. I think there is nowhere in the world with bluer skies than NM. I always paint when I go there.
