last day of sale

Hi all,

I have added four more paintings to the Half-Price Sale that end tonight at midnight.

We sold 20 paintings yesterday.

To view the paintings that are still available, CLICK HERE.

Thanks to all who bought paintings and support my work.

Some have been collectors for a long time, so are brand new.

I love you all!

Party Time!

PARTY TIME!

My studio really does look like an art gallery today.

I cleared out some big easels and other bulky things

and I never realized my studio was actually this big.

I have ordered food, made food (am still making food),

my band is ready and will be coming early to set up

and relax before playing almost two hours for my guests.

We have 65 people on the guest list.

I have quite a few paintings available:

150 Challenge paintings

plein air paintings

palette knife paintings,

and more.

I will take pics of the party

 and I also have a surprise for my online

viewers next week - 

a TWO DAY ONLY SALE!

Details to follow.

I will be doing quite a bit of plein air painting

the rest of the year.

I really want to build up a good inventory of plein air work.

Taos, Abiquiu, Chimayo, Tuchas, here I come!

I plan on working on a series of small figures and nudes.

Also, want to start a local women's art collective

 for support and collaborative exhibition opportunites.

Life is full and have a blessed day!

on to other things

ON TO NEW THINGS.....

My taxes are done.

It must be spring cleaning time because now I've moved on to my studio!

The studio is not bad. At first glance, it even looks okay.

But I know better. I know where the clutter is.

Those who know me know how much I LOVE books.

Especially art books. Well, art books are now becoming my clutter.

Today I am being firm and going through all of my art books

and only keeping the ones I really want or need.

I may have a little garage sale for all of my artist friends when 

I'm done spring cleaning.

I want my area to be as decluttered as possibly so when I go into the studio 

painting is my only focus. 

I'm also trying to make some room to have a couple of small painting

WORKSHOPS this summer.

I've been asked numerous times if I teach or do workshops 

and the answer has always been no. Until now!

If you are interested in learning techniques involved in daily painting, plein air painting,

blogging, marketing, and how to get out in the art world, keep this in mind.

My idea is to have 3-6 students for a day long workshop - 

half inside and half outside under the cottonwood trees.

A nice lunch and lots of great instruction and conversation.

Affordable and fun. 

More on that later....

OTHER NEWS

I have a couple of projects coming up....

One is for an exhibition called SEED.

I'm doing one painting and the theme is, you guessed it - seeds!

I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, but there's a lot of room for interpretation.

The other is a group exhibition at Weems Uptown called 

"FLOWERS AND VEGGIES."

I am painting 6-8 large pieces - I'm actually looking at some 30x30 canvases that 

are really deep - about three inches.

They would be awesome covered in wild chaotic flowers and painted around the sides, 

very three dimensional and sculptural. 

I'll probably pick up one or two canvases to start on Monday and

see where that goes. 

You guys know I love painting those wild flowers!

I am going to work on a daily painting to post tonight, so keep an eye out.

AND, I'm going on a retreat this weekend.

I'll be doing a labryinth walk, meditation, writing, etc. 

Don't forget to set your clocks this weekend!
