Morris Rippel lived his whole life in Albuquerque. He attended the University of New Mexico from which he earned a degree in architecture, a career he practiced for 15 years. He decided to try his hand at fine art painting and took two paintings to a gallery in Santa Fe which sold them immediately so he decided to drop his architectural career and become a fine art painter. He had a very successful art career.
This watercolor of Romero Street is a very accurate portrayal of that section of Old Town Albuquerque. The long adobe building on the right with two long and narrow windows and a door was the home of Adobe Gallery for 25 years! We have fond memories of that building.
