note:
"In Old Sante Fe would have been painted during, or at the very least inspired by, John's exploratory trip in late '47- early '48 to Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, looking for a place for us to live. He was actually quite captivated by the southwest, but instead we ended up moving east."- Diane Winters, the artist's daughter
