Taos pueblo, New Mexico

Taos Pueblo is the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. The multi-storied adobe buildings have been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years. It is the longest continuously inhabited place in the entire country.

 I found this painting on the attic of my parents-in-law's house exactly 10 years from the date of the painting. I have no memory when the painting was actually done, but I remember I painted this because the scene of the pueblo was impressive, and I'd never seen anything like that before. We stolled around the hill to see some of the houses, and felt that time has stood still. People live almost like how their ancentors lived 1000 years ago.

Another thing that I like about this pueblo is the earthy orange color, one of my favorites. It was a watercolor painting, so I must have painted this before I even knew about silk painting. I feel like I have found a treasure in the attic..
