art show in quite a heck of a long time. It is an Equine Art show Which means I get to focus on my Ponies and Horses art, both my watercolours and photography.
I am so super stoked and it’s all happening with ‘ease and grace”. My motto for a long time now………
This is an original that I will offer for sale for the first time at the show. All matted and framed up.
“Sugar” in the Apple Orchard Meadow
and then I can include my first “Ponies in the Meadow”
“Ponies in the Meadow” on my mac
as an incredible laminated WaterColor giclee any size. Maybe bigger than I’ve done before, like maybe an 16×20 or something close.
sooooo many choices to choose from.
Lots of prep to do to make it the best I can be. 35 days and counting.
I have a 10×10 wall space to hang my art and make a lasting impression.
If you have suggestions, please feel free to fess up, k? I would love it….

The hummingbirds, chuparosa, hummers, what-ever we call them sure can make a lot of fuss over their feeders. And this morning they were all just a fussin’ and a flittin’ and scrapin’ with each other. They do have their little perches that they each love.
he loves this perch in the early morning New Mexico Light
but he gets to twitching and flittin’ when another hummer zings by
ready for take off
So I decided to climb up on top of our camper that we still have set up as a studio, closet and general catch all. But the view from the top is
A M A Z I N G…..
as the sun was peeking through the rain storms blowing round
the sunlight on the new Aspen Groves high in the Sangre de Cristos Mountains
and then I heard this feather-flutter high in the Piñon. I was up high in their territory. I almost gasped when I saw him just inches away, nestled in the branches and looking out on the new rain soaked world
good morning rain soaked world
and I didn’t want to startle it, but I had to get one more, and when I moved he looked right at me and I clicked before I should have (but I love it anyway)
He sees me, and then he was gone
What a world it is up high in the tree tops. You can see forever from here.
peace n abundance,
CheyAnne

There is a story behind these pictures I’m gonna post…..
Back in the summer of ’06 in Lama, New Mexico where we (Len, my honey and I) are building a geodesic dome home, he had had a pit dug the year before. Hence the word ‘ soterano’, in Spanish it means root cellar.
Now this summer of ’06 was hot and sometimes wet and we started to hear frog like sounds coming out of the open soterano. There was a puddle of still water in this 10 x10 x10 foot hole in the dry high desert landscape of northeastern New Mexico. And we were hearing frogs? Hold on now,
but sure enough if we sat really still on the edge of this pit we could see little itty bitty movements in the mud. So of course we went in. We slipped and slid and Explored!!!!…..
You need to understand that this pit, this hole in the ground was just dug up for the first time in probably human history.
here, right here the center post will go
That this dirt hadn’t been exposed to sun and light and open air since who knows when. And here were these amazing teeny, tiny little brown baby lookin’ frogs with HUGE round, green as grass eyes; singing and mating, chasing, catching and eating flys.
WHERE did they come from? There are no frogs that we’re aware of on this high mountain mesa in north eastern New Mexico.
We, Len and I, think that they emerged after being dug up and exposed to the elements that they needed to come alive. So we believe
Anyway……. on with the story;
So here it is springtime of ’08 and we now have a house floor
L O V E lives here
and walls over the sotarano.
Sugar Shack
I took on the task of carving
Steps to
into the hard-packed earth to create steps down into our root cellar so I was spending a lot of time there and saw a few more interesting things……
These mountain lion prints showed up after a rainy cold snap this summer. Nice huh?
cougar was here
And then there were these:
ancient mushroom/flower
ancient mushrooms in sotarano
closer
another close up
We’ve looked them up and can’t seem to make much since out of them other that that they are mushroom flower looking plants:
Anybody have any idea or are they an ancient flower/mushroom?
Here it is May 6, 2012
We now have a solid lived in for 3 years geodesic dome over this soterano, and I’m missing all that beautiful heat of summer down in there. Just thought I would repost (and it’s raining, yeah, or sprinkling anyway)
peace n abundance,
CheyAnne
