new blog post!

  Hi all,

I know it's been the longest time since I posted on my art blog.

That doesn't mean I've been slacking though!

I have been painting outside, painting inside, having teeth pulled, 

getting a swim spa, and I finally got to hug my grandkids!

I will keep this short and sweet. 

I'm going to try to start posting here every day/every other day, 

even if it's just a photo of a painting I'm working on.

I do love comments and feedback, so feel free.

I have some events coming up and maybe a workshop in the fall.

Oh, AND THE BIGGEST NEWS:

If you go to my website and browse around, you will see that I have added

a new "ADD TO CART" button.

All of my paintings are priced, and are available online

by putting a painting in your "ADD TO CART" for immediate purchase.

Stay tuned and welcome back!

paintings, and photographs from this great piece 

of New Mexico history.

I am starting a fun series - "VINTAGE WOMEN"

Be on the lookout for these eccentric women

and their old-fashioned names!

I am painting in gardens this month and have some 

other plein air locations lines up.

Also a couple of possible shows lined up

in August and September.

visions of pilar

 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...

a new year. new goals

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 have been pondering what goals

 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.

 I am definitely planning a Challenge of some sort.

There are a couple of subjects and mediums that are out of

my comfort zone, I'm going to work on those.

 In addition to painting, I will be working on

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!

 ********************************************

 I plan on joining some new art associations,

and will be continuing my artist in/out of residence

at Los Poblanos Inn and Farm.

I will also be participating in Sumner and Dene's annual

GARDEN SHOW coming up in June.

Okay, that's it!

The KC Chiefs game is coming on, and

that's my jam right now.

Time flies...

 Hi all,

It has been a month or so since I posted.

A lot has happened in that time.

My dad passed away a few days ago. 

He was almost 91 and had been in the hospital. 

We were all around his bedside when he went 

and for that, I am grateful.

 I love you dad

I've been out painting a lot.

I forget how much I love plein air painting

until I get busy with other things and don't go anywhere.

Here are a few recent photos and paintings:

I don't know about you guys but I am so excited 

for the upcoming fall season and the

changing of the colors. 

I can't wait to paint those golds!

I'm also starting on my ornaments soon and

will post them as they are finished.

                                 They will be $30 each plus $5 shipping.

 

  I will also be offering gift cards sets in a gift box,

6 cards to a box (regularly $6 each) for $30, 

So anyway, stay tuned,

a lot of things are happening, 

even in this covid world.

Love you all.
