Painted by award-winning New Mexico plein air artist Louise Sackett, this original oil painting reflects her passion for preserving the character and history of the Southwest. Working directly from life whenever possible, Louise embraces the plein air tradition to capture the authentic light, atmosphere, and subtle beauty that make each location unique.
Warm sunlight filters through the tree canopy, casting soft shadows across the landscape while rich brushwork and expressive color bring depth and life to the scene. The balance of rustic architecture and natural surroundings creates a timeless composition that feels both familiar and deeply personal, celebrating the enduring spirit of New Mexico's rural heritage.
Whether displayed in a home, office, or private collection, The Way It Used To Be offers a meaningful connection to the landscapes and history of the American Southwest. As a one-of-a-kind original oil painting, every brushstroke reflects Louise's craftsmanship and artistic vision, creating a lasting heirloom to be enjoyed for generations.
