I often spend time painting and gathering reference material in the Santa Fe, New Mexico area. This restaurant is located on the upper end of Canyon Road across from the public parking lot. You might recognize it. What attracted me to this scene were the red umbrellas and the outdoor seating for lunch on a very pleasant summer’s day. I had a lot of fun with this one.
