it's party time!

150 CHALLENGE SHOW

You guys, my 150 CHALLENGE SHOW is almost done!
It's only taken me an extra six months (maybe more)
longer than I originally intended.
I have 28 paintings left and so much material.
How am I going to decide what to paint?

I will go through reference photos on a daily basis 
and choose just what feels right for that day.

This was my first painting coming back from plein air
painting in Questa.
It feels weird in a way to be back working in the studio.
It also feels nice because there are no bugs and no wind.
And I have ceiling fans and air conditioning!
Can't argue with that.

This is a poppy duet from a photo taken of a beautiful garden
in Corrales, New Mexico.
I really shouldn't paint at night because there are too
many distracting lights, but sometimes you just have to PAINT.
These poppies make me happy.

I have many wonderful paintings from the 
CHALLENGE SHOW in my studio.

A sampling: 













I am now planning my ART GARDEN party!
The party is a once a year extravaganza under the 
cottonwood trees at my north valley home.
The event will feature great Mexican food, music by Mezcla Latina,
and a very special Studio Sale.
