I'm working in the studio today.
It started snowing sometime this morning,
so I didn't really get out today.
I did watch Joe Biden's inauguration though.
So very inspiring and beautiful!
And i am dreaming of Pilar...
and other things.... This is my daily art blog. I'm artist Dee Sanchez and I live and work in Alameda, New Mexico - the land of blue skies, red hills, and three unique cultures. What a beautiful place to paint! Join me on my daily painting quest, my plein air adventures, my video logs, my "getting ready for a show" preparations, my painting tips, and I may even throw in an opinion or two...I also document my struggles with getting healthy and my crazy family life

2021
Wow, what a year 2020 was!
I don't even want to talk about it,
so I'm not going to.
***************************
I started the new year with no clear goals or projects in mind.
So I figured the best thing to do is work on
a major purge, clean-up, and organization of the studio.
Six totes of art book, magazines, and supplies later
are now headed into the garage until I can have a sale.
All of those books are art magazines have really
helped sustain me through unmotivated times.
I may want to aim for in 2021.
I'm hoping that the vaccine works and
I can actually hug my family members this year.
I'm hoping that I get to hang out with artist friends,
go to lunches, hold a few workshops,
have my big ART PARTY in September,
and do lots of plein air painting.
There are a couple of subjects and mediums that are out of
my comfort zone, I'm going to work on those.
my ornaments every week, and I also want to
explore jewelry, fabrics, and clay.
GOUACHE
I also want to work on perfecting
my technique with gouache.
"ABIQUIU OVERLOOK"
5x7" gouache
I also plan to BLOG a lot more.
I've been busy and forgot how much I love it.
And I'm going to start a youtube channel,
where I can post instructional videos and
demos. THAT I will enjoy figuring out!
