Landmarks of My Life in New Mexico

September 8, 2011 by Jeane George Weigel

There are certain landmarks in my New Mexico life, landmarks from my walks through the land grant out to the llano, and those I see from my house and yard, that captivate me. It occurred to me recently that I am compelled to photograph them over and over again, throughout the different seasons, different times of day, different light and moods. Even when I try to resist, I still shoot them. I decided that these photographs of the same subject, shot at different times, offer an interesting “portrait” of change within a constant and I wanted to share them with you.

I begin this series with a copse of trees that was probably the first landmark of my New Mexico life.

      Thanks Marilyn. I haven’t painted the trees, but many of my pieces have incorporated the various fences on my walk. Maybe I should do a post on fences. Hmmm…

    Beautiful…I love the green view of it …especially now that we are in a dry spell and the grass is all going yellow (for a few weeks lol)

    XOXO

      Thank you Grace! Yes, the green is so different from the snow and buff colors of fall and winter. I love them all, but the glimpse of summer feels more like something we should really celebrate while it lasts (especially now that I have started putting in wood for winter).

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
