Back to the Desert for Fall Season

Despite the shaky economy, eager art buyers combed the Colorado mountains for deals on originals and limited editions. Pat and Nancy received an enthusiastic reception for Pat Kelly Fine Art Photography across Summit County and the San Juan Mountains during their five weeks in the Rockies. Although heavy spring snows hampered the wildflower bloom in the high meadows, Pat still managed to come home with lots of fresh images.

Now we’re off to Albuquerque for the Rio Grande Arts and Crafts show in conjunction with the balloon fiesta for two weekends. Here’s hoping art and balloons trump expensive gas and scary bail-outs. Pat and Nancy hope to find some sweet New Mexico light around Taos between shows.

Then it’s back to the Arizona to breathe the cooling desert air and see old friends and customers in Tucson and the Valley of the Sun. We promise to load up the website with oodles of new work when we get back to Phoenix in mid-October. Watch for it.
