"UNO"

"UNO"
10"X10"

SOLD
Hello...here is my daily painting for tonight. It's a little larger than I usually offer, but I had this canvas and wanted to paint it. It's just one huge sunflower, peaceful in all its glory. Purchase information is below.
I am also working on my challenge painting this evening. It is three dancers, similar to the two larger paintings I'm working on. I will post it as soon as it's finished.
Bosque del Apache was so beautiful. I have pics as well as a couple of videos, I just haven't had time to post them. I'm going back in the spring because if it's so gorgeous now, I can only imagine what it looks like then!

"SOFT SUNSET"

"SOFT SUNSET"

10"X8"

SOLD

I have worked all day today and have gotten quite a bit accomplished. I've finished my daily painting early! I love the softness of the sky and the blending of the clouds in this one. I will also have two challenge paintings that I will post tonight. I've worked on my two dancer painting commissions and should have those completely finished by Friday. My trip to Bosque del Apache didn't happen today because it was too windy and cold. We're going to try for Thursday. Anyway, it's time for dinner and then back in the studio for a couple more hours. See ya in a while.... Purchase information is below:

Also check out my 150 Challenge blog later tonight and see paintings #129 and #128!

"TAOS ROAD"

8"X10"

This will be the daily painting I post as a finished piece tomorrow. This adobe is from a photo of a house and road near where we stayed in Taos by Blueberry Hill. I think it was early October and the chamisa was beautiful. I don't know what the red/orange bushes are, but they were an explosion of color. I will post purchase information tomorrow.

"HIGH COUNTRY SUNFLOWERS"

"HIGH COUNTRY SUNFLOWERS"

work in progress

8"x8"

I will post this work as a finished piece tonight. I will also have another daily painting and two challenge paintings ready for posting. This composition was one of the very first sunflower paintings I did, and actually started me on the road to my career. I always try to have at least one of these "fenceline" sunflower pieces at each show. I was going to have it finished last night, but I went to the gym, made enchiladas for my mother-in-law, and made cookies with my cousin to give to the auto mechanic guys who fixed her car and didn't charge her a penny.

Today I will also be working on two commissioned dancer paintings and a larger 24x30 wild sunset with flowers. Stay tuned...

"RIO GRANDE"

Good morning! Yesterday I went down to the river to take some photos of the Sandias, but there was too much cloud cover over the mountains. Instead I got this beautiful shot of the acequia. It's about three minutes from my house.

The actual river. The Sandias are off on the right, out of range. The river was beautiful. I think the red in the background is willow. These two will probably become paintings.

"HIDDEN HORSES"

I didn't have the time or the energy for a daily painting today, but I thought you might want to see painting #133 of my 150 Challenge blog. I hope to post a daily painting later this evening.

"THREE WAITING"

"THREE WAITING"

8"X10"

SOLD

"WATCHING"

"THE SENTINAL"

8"X8"

SOLD

I have been wanting to paint a rooster FOREVER - really since I first started painting. I just never did. I was always attracted to roosters and chickens and I'll tell you why:

my grandmother raised them and collected them! I remember going to Juaraz with her when I was a little girl and they had tables and tables filled with ceramic chickens - the kind that have a bottom that holds something (like candy or potpourri). She had a corner cabinet filled with them. I have no idea what happened to them. So guess what I have in my studio? A rooster on a pedestal! And on my wood stove in the kitchen? Two ceramic chickens! So, this is the first of many! I love my watcher, he's definitely a lover, not a fighter!

"MAS FLORES"

"MAS FLORES"
8"X8"

SOLD
This was intended to be last night's painting, but instead, it's today's. I should have a new one tonight for posting. I love a red background, as you know, it just gives the painting such a warm feeling. This one looks a little wild...

"THE SWIRL"

"THE SWIRL"

8"X8"

SOLD

This girl has definitely got the swirl down! When I sketched it, it looked a little strange, but it's exactly like the photo I took at a performance at the New Mexico fairgrounds last year. Of course, I invented the background. She was performing on concrete underneath a metal roof. I think this background makes it much more interesting.

"TRES BAILLADORAS"

"TRES BAILLADORAS"

8"X10"

SOLD

I apologize for taking so long to get back into the swing of things, but I'm back on track. My dad is feeling much better now, thanks to all of you who inquired.

I should catch up my 150 CHALLENGE paintings tomorrow. This painting is a request for the three dancers that I so love painting.

See two 150 CHALLENGE paintings tonight at:

Hi everyone -

As you can see, there are no new paintings here today...

That's because I spent yesterday evening and this morning at the emergency room with my dad. He had the stomach flu and was very dehydrated. I got home about 2:30am this morning, went to sleep, got up late, and am just now starting to work in the studio. My dad is doing much better, thank goodness. I may have to break for a nap late this afternoon.

I'm going to double up on my paintings so I can keep on schedule, which means you may see FOUR paintings tonight. Anyway, watch for the new ones....

"APPLE BLOSSOMS, VELARDE"

"APPLE BLOSSOMS, VELARDE"

8"x10"

Can you tell I'm ready for spring?? I've pruned all my small fruit trees, just have a big old gnarly apple tree left. It's been so warm here during the day that I've wanted to start digging in the garden. But I have to be patient, because I'm sure we'll have at least one or two snows yet. I think my favorite thing about this painting is the sky - it reminds me of cotton candy.

Purchase information is below:

and tomorrow.... a dancer painting!

Also, check out painting #139 on the 150 CHALLENGE blogsite, I love how it turned out.

"HOLLYHOCKS, CANYON ROAD"

"HOLLYHOCKS, CANYON ROAD"

8"X10"

SOLD

Another in my series of hollyhocks and windows. I spent about 4 hours at the emergency room with my daughter today (she hurt her knee snowboarding). She's fine although she has crutches for a few days. Then I went out to eat and to my favorite bookstore, so I felt like I wasn't really that productive today. Tomorrow I have to go buy canvas, paints, and other supplies, plus work out, but I'll be busy in the studio after that. I promise! Also, please check out tonight's 150 CHALLENGE painting. I'm starting on #139 tomorrow:

"A LITTLE VINO"

"A LITTLE VINO"
10"X8"

SOLD
I think this is my first still life, other than a vase of flowers. I've had this photo that I took at a hotel in Santa Fe for some time now, but just never got around to painting my rendition of it. I think it has a whimsical feel and looks like a nice, relaxing way to spend a New Mexico evening!
