Arts Day in Rodeo

The Chiricahua Gallery and the Mixed Nuts of Rodeo both hosted events today in Rodeo.  Today is the first day of the Chiricahua Gallery Holiday Arts show while the Mixed Nuts hosted their annual craft fair.  Lots of goodies at both places and of course the George Walker House had 75 lbs of fudge, in a variety of flavors, for sale.  I must admit to buying 4 different flavors of chocolate fudge, the chili flavored is perhaps my favorite.

Chiricahua Gallery, Community Art Show

This weekend, 9/17/2011, starts the community art show at the Chiricahua Gallery in Rodeo New Mexico.  The show will run for 3 weeks and will feature art work from local artists around the area.  An opening reception will be held on Saturday starting at 3:00 PM at the gallery.

In a setting like the San Simon Valley it is difficult not to create art.  When the view as you walk outside are of mountain ranges like the Chiricahua Mountains (photograph at the top of this blog and below), the inspiration to create is not difficult.  I have submitted 6 low level aerial photographs taken around the boot heel to the show that highlight some of the landscape features only visible from above.
