Hi all,

Here are the details for my new 150 CHALLENGE SHOW!

~ I start painting again on Monday and posting the paintings

 as soon as they are created.

~ Each painting is $150 and will have a Paypal BUY NOW button 

underneath the painting. You may purchase immediately.

~ Postcards go out in a couple of weeks.

~ Each painting will be shipped as soon as it is dry to the touch

 and varnished, usually about two weeks.

~At the end of the show, we will have a huge party at my house, 

complete with music, food, and fun. 

You must call or email to get on the list of attendees.

That's it - wish me luck and I hope to finish all 150

by the time the party arrives!

The Party's Over

My 145 Challenge is done and my dinner is over!

I had a fantastic time yesterday and I can't believe it - 

I did not take ONE photo of the event.

Which just goes to show that I was having a great time.

I did take a photo of the party set up though.

We had about 35 people in attendance, great guitar music by Lenore Armijo,

and a compilation of homemade food along with food by El Pinto and Gardunos.

I gave away four gift bags good for a handpainted Christmas ornament,

and a drawing was held for a 24x36 canvas to be created by me 

and the subject matter to be chosen by the winner. Congratulations Katie!

And best of all, we raised almost $700 for my favorite animal charity, NMDOG!

Oh, and did I mention that I sold 38 145 Challenge paintings?

I loved hanging out with the people who attended, 

some of whom I had never even met.

We even had root beer floats for dessert.

This might have to become an annual event...

There are 71 available paintings on the 145 Challenge.

They will be there for a couple more days, then I will deliver them to my favorite galleries .

View them HERE.

I have marked the paintings that are already SOLD.

In other news, people were asking me yesterday, "What are you going to do now?"

Rest is on the top of my list - and I definitely want to go swim and hot tub at the gym, 

I haven't been for almost two weeks.

 Tomorrow I start a 24x24 floral commission,

then paint a little chair for the Presbyterian Ear Institute,

then a 37x37 aspen forest commission after that.

I want to revamp my website and blog site, 

go on some painting day trips, go to Taos, 

learn how to make movie dvds,

and sit down and figure out my direction for next year.

I want to go on the upcoming Alameda Studio Tour ,

and definitely attend Weems Artfest. It will be weird being an

attendee and not a participating artist.

I will still have a large painting in the auction for three charities.

Anyway, that's where I'm at.

Thanks for watching the 145 Challenge and hangin' in with me,

if you only knew how much you inspire me to keep working,

you would be amazed!

Later...I'm going to go read a book.

only 15 days left until my new Challenge begins....May 9, 2013

THE CHALLENGE IS BACK! 

Guess what? I am doing another Challenge!

This one is new and different.....

REASONS

I have really really REALLY missed my plein air painting - 

going on day trips, photographing, screeching my car to a halt, jumping out,

and painting what's right in front of me.

I also promised my family I wouldn't do any physical shows in 2013.

Doing three large shows back to back last year was killer.

But I always want to do something that connects 

me with my love for the New Mexico landscape and 

brings me closer to my clients (and friends).
It also has to challenge me at the same time.

And one of my goals this year was to help animals. So...

I am doing a 145 day Challenge -

145 paintings in 145 days and all will be $145 each
You won't have to wait until the end of the Challenge to get your painting this time!

This Challenge will include all of my "themes" and some new subjects.

And at the end of the Challenge,

I am having a wonderful dinner at my north valley home, 

complete with New Mexican food, great music, and even a painting demonstration!
There will also be a large painting giveaway at the end of our meal.

The dinner is $49 per person and a portion of the proceeds

will go to New Mexico Dogs Deserve Better, a very worthwhile group that rescues

and cares for animals that are chained, or abused. 

So come on out and join us under the cottonwoods, enjoy some great food, 

and help out a great animal charity at the same time!

Here is your personal invite - 
I have also sent out over 850 postcards.

I hope you will watch the process of the creation of 145 paintings.
May you find one (or more) that speak to you.
I also hope you will join me for dinner!
