15-5 "THE GARDEN PORTAL" and a new facebook group!

 "THE GARDEN PORTAL"

10x8"

oil on panel

$99

This is the first of my paintings for our new facebook group called,

"LET'S PAINT NEW MEXICO!"

I started this group as a blog a couple of years ago, and wow,

I think we all turned out some exeptional artwork.

I put the blog away for a while because I got so busy,

but I have brought it back as a free facebook group page, so

artists can join up and then they can post their own creations.

Much easier for me.

The object is this:

I post an image of New Mexico every Wednesday, and artists-

professionals to beginner or anywhere in between,

create their version of the image and then post it

to facebook for all to see.

No obligation and no judgement.

NOTE TO SELF:

Try another painting today because

working under lights at night in the studio

hurts your eyes and changes your color perception.
I like this version but the original

flowers in the photo are more red and brilliant than in this painting.

WOW!

SEPTEMBER 1ST

I can't believe it's already here.

I have SO much to do before the 26th, it's not even funny:

finish the 150 - box

finish the ornaments

finish the large paintings

send out another postcard

prepare press releases - mail

prepare the back of all paintings for hanging

create a flyer/poster for Weems - deliver

make a list of food for the show - buy

I'm sure there's more, but right now all I

can think about it getting the work completed and ready to hang.

Meanwhile, I painted in Corrales this past week - plein air!

I was so excited to be back out in the field, it's been 7 months

since I touched a tube of oil paint.

I only got to go out three times for about two hours each time

but I came back with three paintings that I love.

One was painted sitting in a big field of sunflowers during the 

hottest part of the day, surrounded by bees.

The second was painted at the Corrales Winery during the last light of the setting sun.

what a beautiful and peaceful place - hanging out with 29 other plein air painters.

The last was painted at the Corrales mercantile portal.

I was sitting under the portal, looking at a big pot of flowers and also 

painting the little adobe across the street - which was separated from me

by a big main road of traffic.

These paintings are all available for purchase.

They will be going to the Corrales JAZZY STARRY NIGHT event in a few days.

Meanwhile, back to work!
