STUDIO NEWZ: The image for this painting was taken last fall on the Rio Chama. Am thinking of doing a larger painting from this study. Began work on a new book recently - have designed the cover for ON THE ROAD: Paintings of New Mexico - hope to have it completed sometime late next year. It will cover new paintings from 2010 thru 2012. FYI - Saw a great documentary "THE CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS" by Werner Herzog. In 1994 some hikers in France discovered a cave with magnificent wall paintings of prehistoric animals. Later the cave was carbon dated and thought to be 30,000/40,000 years old! It is called Chauvet cave after one of the hikers. They even found bone flutes that still can play music. The joy of Neanderthal art and music! PROSPERO ANO NUEVO A TODOS! - Best regards, Donna

MORNING POEM

2011-12-26T09:51:00.000-07:00

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Help someone's soul heal.
Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

WINTER GIFTS

2011-12-22T16:27:00.000-07:00

To Art Friends Everywhere! Those of you who have been with me a long time know I send out the same holiday greeting every year. The original of this painting was "adopted" by some very prolific art collectors years ago and still resides in a lovely home here in Taos. The street in this painting is the main street in Truchas -- I walked to the post office from my little adobe house every day and still keep the memories of that special time very close. The woman is the memory I've kept of my little Polish grandmother -- she carried a shopping bag with her everywhere -- those were her "gifts" her "surprises". The words of Fra Giovanni never fail to uplift - especially at this time of the year. From my heart I wish you all the best of this holiday season -- Hug someone special today! Sincere best wishes, Donna

"There is nothing I can give you which you have not;
But there is much, very much that while I cannot give it,
you can take.

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts
find rest in today. TAKE HEAVEN.
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden
in this present moment. TAKE PEACE.

The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within reach is joy.
There is a radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see,
and to see we have only to look. I BESEECH YOU TO LOOK.

Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by
their covering, cast them away as ugly, or heavy or hard.
Remove the covering, and you will find beneath it
a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom with power.

Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel's hand that
brings it to you. Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or
a duty, believe me that angel's hand is there; the gift is there,
and the wonder of an overshadowing presence.
Our joys, too, be not content with them as joys.
They, too, conceal diviner gifts.

And so, at this time, I greet you.
Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with
profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and
forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away."

Fra Giovanni, 1513 AD

GIVING THANKS TODAY!

"The images of peace are ephemeral. The language of peace is subtle. The reasons for peace, the definitions of peace, the very idea of peace have to be invented, and invented again.

Children, everybody, here's what to do during war: In a time of destruction, create something. A poem. A parade. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful moment."

—From THE FIFTH BOOK OF PEACE, Maxine Hong Kingston

MY NEW BOOK! "TAKING THE HIGH ROAD TO TAOS"

2011-10-23T14:45:00.000-06:00

TAKING THE HIGH ROAD TO TAOS -- A new book from my Taos Studio. From the dust jacket: "In 1967 Donna Clair began a new, adventurous chapter in her life by leaving Chicago and moving across the country to Santa Fe,New Mexico. Taking out her easel, paints and brushes, she established herself as a well-recognized southwestern contemporary painter. Leaving the Santa Fe social scene in 1982, she moved to a 20 acre horse ranch on Llano Quemado - a "suburb" of the small Hispanic village of Truchas, New Mexico. These images chronicle her journey."

It has taken me 44 years of living in New Mexico and a whole bunch of new technology to be able to put this new project together! This book measures 9"x11" and has 61 pages of text and illustrations of paintings. What is so amazing to me is the fact that the colors of the reproductions are absolutely true to the original work. Purchase of this book will include a 13"x19" archival giclee on heavy Somerset stock of one of the featured paintings. Both the book and the print are hand-signed. The print will be mailed flat. To order call or e.mail - (575)758-7454 - dclair@donnaclairart.com Books are printed to order, please allow ten to fourteen days for delivery. $125.00 for both - $10.00 shipping and handling.

HUG AN ARTIST TODAY! Also, my 24"x96" painting of Pedernal should be completed by the end of next week -- will send photos at that time. Stay tuned!

Best regards, Donna

Will work with both canvases on the easel and then I can bounce the colors back and forth between the canvases for a more uniform color quality. DC

"Forward and backward I have gone, and for me it has been an immense journey..... Perhaps there is no meaning in it at all, the thought went on inside me, save that of the journey itself, so far as men can see. It has altered with the chances of life, and the chances brought us here; but it was a journey -- long, perhaps -- but a good journey under a pleasant sun. Do not look for the purpose. Loren Eiseley, Naturalist - THE IMMENSE JOURNEY.

THE OPEN ROAD! Field work for new paintings

2011-04-15T08:46:00.005-06:00

14 April 2011 -- Finished the Rio Chama painting late last month - varnished, framed it and sent it off to it's new home in Cambria, California on Monday. Spent the rest of Monday and most of Tuesday feeling "post-ARTum" blues. Took off in search of orchards with apple blossoms -- about a week too early. Wandered for most of the day. These past two weeks have gathered much new material -- planning some large canvases - new "environments" - am very excited. I LOVE large blank canvases -- like reading a long book that you can't put down! Also planning to add some new smaller auction paintings. To receive my Studio Newsletter with the latest paintings, send your e.address via the sign-up on this page. I will be happy to send you photos of my new work! ENJOY! DC

3/20/11 - Good Morning Taos Sunshine!

Last year members of the American Bar Association held a conference here in Taos. Art Friend Karla Matthews from Virginia arranged a studio visit for the spouses of the participants holding the meeting. We all laughed and had a fine old time - one huge coffee klatch! The next day some of the lovely ladies gifted me with one of the flower arrangements used as table decoration. I put the flowers in my studio thinking I would paint them (you can see the paint tubes in the upper right hand corner). I photographed them instead. Found the photo and decided this morning to pull a 15"x20" (image size) print. It is beautiful! Rich colors -- wipes away the winter blues! This print is available for purchase - $65.00, free shipping. Visa, Mastercard and Amex available through my studio for your convenience. To order call (575)758-7454.

STUDIO NEWZ: Yesterday added new paintings available for purchase at the Collector's Gallery on my website at www.donnaclairart.com Almost finished with the 36"x48" commissioned painting "Rio Chama at Abiquiu . Am considering having an open studio weekend over the Memorial Day holiday. If anyone is interested, just let me know.

Big Springtime hug to all Art Friends! Donna

24 SEPTEMBER 2010 - STUDIO NEWZ

2010-09-24T11:49:00.000-06:00

STUDIO NEWZ: For the past four years the major share of my painting sales large and small have been made via the internet - through my website at www.DonnaClairArt.com As the result of this online success, I am no longer affiliated with McLarry Gallery in Santa Fe. All New Mexico sales will go through my Taos Studio at least for the next six to eight months. Am re-designing my website and the "COLLECTOR'S GALLERY" of new paintings will be online in early November. Am also working on two book projects which I hope to have completed by next spring. In the meantime, my studio will be open by appointment -- please call a day or two in advance of your visit. My sincere thanks to Art Friends near and far for your continued interest in my work! Donna

PS -- Become an Art Friend - send your e.address to me to receive my Studio Newsletter with photos of works in progress, completed paintings and new prints!

The shadows on the snow: same combination as the sky colors. This painting should be completed in about ten days.

BACK TO THE EASEL!

2010-06-23T15:34:00.004-06:00

23 June 2001 -- Every so often I realize I don't know who I am without a paintbrush in my hand! That's when I have to take a break - time to observe the world without a camera or sketchbook. This hiatus took a little more time than I had planned, but it was well worth every minute. What did I do on my spring/summer "vacation"? My living space required repair and cleaning. My office needed a good straightening up -- filing, proofing new prints, preparing my space to work on some books I plan to work on this fall. I reconnected with friends -- some I hadn't seen in many, many years. Entertained a great group from the American Bar Endowment.....Art Friends from Virginia, Louisiana, Ohio, Santa Fe, Illinois and Wisconsin. Went to Taos Pueblo for some fantastic fry bread. A wonderful lunch at Rancho de Chimayo. Visited Santuario de Chimayo and gave some prayers of thanks for good friends and this amazing place where I live and paint.....gratitude is good! DC

"The images of peace are ephemeral. The language of peace is subtle. The reasons for peace, the definitions of peace, the very idea of peace have to be invented, and invented again.

Children, everybody, here's what to do during war: In a time of destruction, create something. A poem. A parade. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful moment."
