| "St Patrick" by Peter Hurd
3 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Original Goache
|
|
Many of New Mexico's towns and villages have had several names during their history. According to "New Mexico Place Names," the original name of San Patricio was Ruidoso (not to be confused with today's Ruidoso which was then known as Dowlin's Mill.) The name was changed in 1875 to honor the arrival of the new priest.
His patron saint?
St. Patrick...
in Spanish "San Patricio"

| "Mexican Retablo" by Henriette Wyeth-Hurd |
Painted in 1973, "Mexican Retablo" by Henriette Wyeth captures her connection with Hispanic culture and it's colorful imagery. The religious iconography of the traditional retablo combined with Henriette's exquisitely painted flowers symbolize both life and death. While the painted saint on the retablo seems to recede into the canvas, the flowers are bright and alive. With it's richly New Mexican theme, we believe this to be one of the finest examples of Henriette's work.
Price: $65,000
Size: 27 1/2" x 23 1/2"
Medium: Oil on Canvas

| "Relic" by Michael Hurd |
Michael's most recently completed piece is entitled "Relic" and is based on one of his most fascinating subjects, the old adobe known as Casa Domingo. Built in a time when people spent most of their day outdoors, "Relic" captures the pioneering spirit of those who built small, adobe houses like this one all over the territory of New Mexico. For residents of the Hondo Valley, it has always been man against the elements. Time and weather have taken their toll on Casa Domingo, but like it's former owner, Domingo Maes, the house isn't going down without a fight.
Price: $4,200
Size: 19" x 30"
Medium: Charcoal on Paper

A Sentinel Ranch "Windy" |
Like their son, Michael, Peter and Henriette Hurd were unusually extroverted for artists. They loved to entertain, to socialize, to debate, and especially to tell stories. Peter often referred to his tales as a "windy." One day at lunch, with the family table surrounded by 10 friends and members of the family, Peter launched into one of his famous "windys." About this time, the family German Shepherd, Gretel, sauntered into the room...flopped dramatically in the corner and groaned an exasperated sigh as if to say, "Good grief...not this story again!" The room erupted in laughter and Gretel had effectively stolen the show. Join us in future newsletters for more "windys" from the Hurd family.
