This work of art was designed by Artist Paul A. Lanquist (PAL), a Pacific Northwest artist who currently lives in central Oregon. Through the years, PAL has gravitated to the work of illustrators from the 20's, 30's, and 40's that use color and design to communicate their ideas in a straightforward way. By combining the nostalgic look and feel of the past with the spectacular scenery of this country, PAL has created destination and travel posters that capture the beauty and life style of these unique areas.Autumn in southern New Mexico isn't just about the scenery; it’s also about delicious seasonal flavors!
