Snow in the Arroyo
BERNARD MARKS WROTE THIS ABOUT HIS EXQUISITE OIL PAINTING “SNOW IN THE ARROYO”:
“Snow in the Arroyo” reveals the beauty of the high desert of New Mexico in winter.

MARTHA MARKS ADDS:
At 7,199-ft. elevation, Santa Fe, New Mexico is the highest state capital in the United States. It also happens to be the oldest state capital, founded in 1609.
Santa Fe occupies a gorgeous location between the Sangre de Cristo Mountains (shown in this painting) and the Jemez Mountains to the west. Despite its arid climate, Santa Fe enjoys light, powdery snowfalls every winter. “Snow in the Arroyo” is a beautiful illustration of such a wintertime event.
Arroyo is the Spanish term used in New Mexico for a (usually) dry stream bed. (In Arizona, they’re known as “washes.”) Arroyos like the one depicted here offer a picturesque setting in any season, but they are especially beautiful when filled with snow, as in this painting. And during the summer rainy season, water often races through them on its way to the Río Grande.
