"Santa Fe Doors: The Bell", matted watercolor and ink painting by Karla Nolan

My husband and I are on vacation in California and I am behind in my art blog posts, so here goes, another taste of Santa Fe, doors, adobe and such.  As I recall, the skies were quite blue the day I saw this door, it was a hot and dry day but knowing the way adobe walls are built, good insulation, I knew it would be nice and cool inside the rooms of this building...and it was..  This was actually an outside courtside wall, a small patio was located behind it, then the room in which we stayed.  I don't know the significance of the bell, it was just there, but the whole scene was charming, which is what I remember best about Santa Fe:  the charm and ambience of the city.

"Santa Fe Doors: Old Wood, Painted Adobe" by Karla Nolan, watercolor and ink painting matted to 8"x10"

Another in the series of the Santa Fe doors.  This is the land of enchantment, so they say, and I am in agreement.  I have no idea who painted the adobe wall, it's not really a door, but it is enchanting as is the heavy old wooden door to the left.  It seemed to take forever to paint this small piece, trying to get it right but no too right!  If it's "too right", why it's a photograph and that wasn't my goal, I'd rather you get the gist of the atmosphere in sweet Santa Fe!

"Santa Fe Door: Cobalt" by Karla Nolan, watercolor and ink painting, matted to 8"x10"

Santa Fe, New Mexico, is an extraordinary town.  It is so old, one of the very first towns in North America, long before it became the United States.  Most living structures are adobe and Canyon Road is probably the most famous road due to the large amount of art galleries located on it.  Some of the houses have  amazing doors so I decided to devote some watercolor and ink time to them.  Here is my first door -- a bright blue cobalt wooden arch of a door.  I've painted five more so far, so get ready for an occasional post to entice you to visit wondrous Santa Fe.
