Arroyo Seco Mercantile Truck #2 - Taos, NM


This truck has been parked outside the Mercantile store in Arroyo Seco, NM. Everytime I have visited, I have tried to get a better photograph. I've painted it several times. This particular view, I've painted once before, in a smaller version. When it sold, my husband was disappointed, so I painted it for him, a little larger...(8 x 8) and I think a little better.

I'm traveling to New Mexico next week and I hope to see the pickup truck again. I have heard they moved it to the other side of the store, making it difficult to get a good shot of it. I hope it has been moved back to a proper photo location.

  1. When we went to Taos last year I commented that, "There was Karen's truck." I love this old fellow.

    Have fun in Angel Fire and take some good shots of those magnificent sunsets!
