Artisan - Santa Fe Art Supplies

While in Santa Fe, NM, last week, Marian and I got to go by Artisan Art Supplies on Cerrillous Road to check out the store.  I was in awe at all the supplies of paints, brushes, canvas, etc.  This is where I get all my supplies to do my paintings.  I'm very fortunate that my family can send me the supplies I need for my new found hobby.  My sincere thanks to them for opening up a whole new world for me.  It keeps me focus and in the end I have something to show for it and it makes me feel good about myself by creating something.

Coming in the front door.

I like the banners showing you where everything is located.

I'm checking out the brushes with my daughter, Karen and son-in-law, Ron!

All kinds of easels!

Delilah had her own room at the store but recently passed away.
