Hand Tinted

Another black and white original, hand-tinted in the Window thru Window: an abandoned old school house in Winston, NM, in the mid-1980s. The original was part of my 1988 show in the Governor’s Gallery in Santa Fe.

The City of Rocks, NM (between Silver City & Deming), formed of volcanic ash 30 million years ago and sculpted by wind and water into rows of monolithic blocks.
