It's been only a week or two, maybe not that long, but once I got back in my studio this past weekend, I painted like whirlwind. One is finished, one is almost finished.I decided that this year I would paint something for the Music From Angel Fire Benefit Auction....

August, must be madness
It's my birthday. 08-08. I've written this post over and over and over. Long gone are the days when birthdays were exciting. Get up, make the coffee , make the breakfast, feed the dog, go to the gallery, water and care for the plants, sweep the floor, mop the floor,...
Painting till My Head Spins
Wow. I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. That will tell you I've been moving at the speed of light. Between then and now, we pulled off another ArtsFest...and according to artists and patrons alike, it was "the best ever"...at least as far as the...
Gorgeous Sunday
It is 76 degrees with a crystal cerulean blue New Mexico Sky. Great day to be outdoors! I must confess my arms are sore though...I weed wacked all the weeds creeping onto the driveway, into the edge of the garden, along side the rasberry patch and around the back...
To Donate, or Not

Tired…where’s that hot tub?
Well, I guess I'm not ready for it,though my neck, shoulders, back and knees, say otherwise! I did get the brick off of the water soaked sand today. In a way, it was a relief.When I was building the house (15 years ago), it went like this:Months before, we had...
The Scratchboard is finished
Thanks to all of you who took the survey...and so, here are the results: Paint the stems and centers....3 to 1!So that's what I did, and here it is: I'm calling it "Connections". To finish off I'll spray it with a clear archival protectant, then mount it and frame in...
Where should I go now?
Ok...I finished phase two...One is to create the drawing, transfer it to the board and then scratch out the outline. ok, so maybe that's three...In that case, I finished step 4. So this is what it looks like.... so...here's a survey for you. Click Here to take...
