Pop Chalee spent her childhood summers in Taos, New Mexico. She carefully observed nature and listened to her grandfather’s stories about an enchanted forest. Details of animals and plants in Forest Scene reflect the artist’s love for Taos Pueblo. Whimsical blue deer, pink bears and trees from the artist’s imagination enliven the painting. Look for 3 porcupines, 4 skunks, 5 birds, 2 purple butterflies, 9 trees, and 5 plants with yellow flowers in the forest.
