Last Painter Leaves Martyrs' Lane 1988-September 16, 1999   Preface This memoir is a collection of short stories about an artist living in a tiny apartment on Martyrs' Lane in Taos, New Mexico. These stories are based on Paul's personal experience and offer his unique reflections expressed through a sense of humor that contains hidden truths along with moral judgments about the high and the low of things during the ten year period he lived in Taos. Paul includes his own complicity in a mix of opinion, sarcasm, and justice unfolding in a southwestern landscape of conflicting social mores steeped in tradition. In this so-called 'Land of Enchantment,' most if not all of these influential inhabitants make usafrux of the opportunity to live unchecked in a less than self-critical life style, all the while determined to push their own agendas which are the driving forces in their lives, for better and for worse. Paul realized he bore the burden of being the last artist to tell this story." This collection of thirty-seven short stories sets out to expose the underlying truths about being an artist living in Taos New Mexico.
