December 2012

This month has been busy with my daughters arriving home from college and plenty of distractions which limited my painting time. I did however find the time to play with a couple of projects.  I received a beautiful paper mache nativity from my mother and I decided to paint a background for it. Simple and effective for my statement.

NM Wild FLowers

"Mass of New Mexico Wild Flowers", 11"x14"

Let me know what you think about this painting.

Bosque Trail View

"Bosque Trail View" 11"x14", unframed

Just finished this little painting of "Bosque Trail View". I enjoyed painting this scene of what sums up the Albuquerque valley. All that is missing are the ducks. This is my favorite time of year!

Floral Work in Progress

This is the first half of my floral painting, a work in progress.  Be looking for the second half to complete the set.  I can hardly wait myself as this is turning out so vibrant.  Each half is 18"x 24"

The Shepherd

Another painting to add to my pastoral series.

Studio Tour

The Studio Tour was a full weekend of almost 150 visitors and great connections. Many thanks to my husband John for all the work preparing for this event.  I am so blessed to have your support! I enjoyed having Mark and Alva Geuss and Vickie Archiveque sharing my studio. We had so much fun doing this together.  Next year promises to be even bigger and better!

 This commissioned painting I did this year was on display.

Arroyo Seco Church

"Arroyo Seco Church", 11"x14" gallery wrapped canvas

This is my most recent finished painting. I enjoyed painting this one!

Thank you

I want to thank Michele Clark for all the support and assistance on this blog.  Hopefully I will get the hang of this and be a pro sooner than I expect.  There are several finished paintings that I need to post and I am currently in the process of completing two paintings and I will post  them in the next few days. I will certainly appreciate your feedback and encouragement.  Blog-away my friends!

Getting Ready

I am currently busy getting ready for my Alameda Studio Tour. I have three other artists me at my studio home: Vickie Archiveque, Mark and Alva Geuss.  Two weeks away and lots to prepare for you to come see.  Looking forward to seeing you.

Welcome

Thank you for stopping by my art blog.
