Ghost Ranch

It's a few miles north of Abiqui. Georgia O'keefe's house is there and a substantial amount of acreage that folks can wander without worrying about trespassing or encountering trespassers.

The month-long residency includes a casita; one side is a bedroom with a mini kitchen and the other is a studio.

Since she's not exclusively devoted to painting, doesn't affect the nuances of the plein aire folks, and even though she writes she hasn't had anything published and since she works in clay and patching compound (gypsum), and is known to be living an "examined" life, she's something of an iconoclast.

Pedernal

She was pretty nervous, but as she walked up to her casita, tears of happiness welled; she'd made it home...again.
