Description
Cervo, New Mexico Ghost Town, an original, one of a kind oil painting by Janis Tafoya, Cervo in Guadalupe County, at one time was off Route 66,
Cuervo began around 1901 when the CRI&P railroad came through guadalupe county. Cuervo is spanish for "crow" and the name probably came from nearby Cuervo Hill.
Cuervo still has Small operating gas station on the north side of the Cuervo exit off I-40.
REMAINS: Numerous buildings including a school and many residences both adobe and stone.
New Mexico has over 400 ghost towns and many more camps and other smaller historical locations. New Mexico's ghost towns are located in just about every are of the state of New Mexico. The most famous of the New Mexico ghost towns are the semi-ghost tourist locations like Shakespeare and steins. New Mexico also has many very desolate ghost town sites where there is little left. Unfortunately, New Mexico has one of the worst records in the preservation of ghost towns. Many states actively protect their ghost towns and keep vandalism to a minimum, but such is not the case New Mexico. For that reason and also due to New Mexico's harsh climate, the majority of New Mexico's ghost towns are nothing more than a few foundations and some occasional mining equipment. But, that doesn't stop the avid ghosttowner from enjoying what is left of New Mexico's ghost towns. Please browse and enjoy this New Mexico Ghost Town web site. Ghosttowns.com would also like your help with the information and preservation of New Mexico's Ghost Towns.
My name is Janis Tafoya and I live in Farmington, N.M., and have lived in this area most of my life.
I started painting after retirement and it has become my sole passion...
I love to paint, and use vibrant colors....I paint flowers the most
because I love the color, shading, blending and shapes...I also paint
landscapes, seascapes and am getting into fantasy more and more..
My painting come from my experiences, feelings, and trials in life.
I am an emotional painter, painting from the inside out...I am a
'PAINTER OF EMOTION'.
When I paint it brings a feeling of peace to me.... My hope is that
this peace will transend my paintings and give all who view them also
a moment of peace, since for so many of us the world we live in is
not a very peaceful peace....Thanks for your interest.

Beautiful painting Janis. I love exploring NM and am especially fond of its many ghost towns; they have many stories to reveal. There is indeed a sense of peace in much of your art.
