A play on the title of a fantastic pop song by Burt Bacharach, Do you Know the Way to San Jose. I often take liberty with song lyrics and titles, passages from books, and lines from movies I love for titles. The title of this piece is a mash up with a song I love and a place that I have been infatuated with for much of my life. The composition was perhaps subconsciously inspired by the New Mexico flag design - it was not on the front of my mind when I made this sketch, but it was clear to me once I had made it. At the time I began to make this piece I had not yet visited the Land of Enchantment. The color of the background was inspired by images I had seen of the New Mexican sky. I finally made it to New Mexico in 2022 and it holds up to everything I could have imagined. I long to be back, forever enchanted. In the meantime, this piece will tell me how to get there.
