Description
This was the deck just outside the room Jimmy and I stayed in at the Riverbend Hot Springs Resort in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We went to New Mexico because Jimmy was a judge in a rocket contest being held at Spaceport America--not a judge as in deciding best in class, but rather he judged if the rockets were properly engineered and he gave the yay or nay whether a team could fly their rocket or not. The contestants are university students who come from around the world to participate and the rockets are serious. They fly the rockets out in the desert. This is the high desert--4,500 feet above sea level. I accompanied Jimmy once to the launch site. It was so hot! The sun was huge and it seemed I could reach out and touch it, it was so close. The air was like an oven and so, so dry. Jimmy went out every day all day for a week; after that first day I went, I decided to stay at the resort and create art. This drawing was one such artwork. Our room at the resort was incredibly small, containing a double bed with minimal room between the bed and the surrounding four walls and a tiny, tiny bathroom. The resort is located on the banks of the Rio Grande River. It has a central building with hot springs, amenities, the office, and a few rooms for renting. More rooms are available in a scattering of other buildings clustered around the main building; we were in one of those. The walls of the buildings had really cool murals painted on them. It's a nice resort, it's a nice town. This was in 2017; we went to New Mexico again in 2018 and 2019, but the 2020 contest was canceled due to the pandemic.
