Architectural subjects include any building or man-made structure. In New Mexico this usually means adobes, the iconic image of New Mexico and the Southwest.

Adobes may be old or abandoned yet still are wonderful subjects. Many such buildings are in small villages and out of the way places. Adobes were often built by ranchers, sheepherders, farmers, or settlers living difficult lives, using locally available materials and traditional methods for a simple, practical purpose--survival. Adobes are rustic, never perfect, often run-down, and melting back into the earth from which they came.

Other buildings such as simple sheds, barns, corrals, also speak to the hardships and ingenuity of the early settlers throughout the West and are ideal subjects for the artist. Paintings of these icons of Western history will become treasured memento for the collector.
