TABORET - 15 APRIL 2009
15 April 2009 -- DANCING WITH THE EASEL! Getting back to work after taking some time off to regenerate and trying to create some order in my life (chuckle, chuckle!). Need to warm up again (the yoga of painting) -- have begun some small oil studies which I will post here and then put up for auction on eBay -- am going to challenge myself to finish one small painting a day for the next two weeks......hmmmm!

BLANK IS THE BEGINNING
BLANK IS THE END, AND BLANK IS THE BEGINNING - After completing the paintings for my Santa Fe exhibit, a lot of catch up work on the house, including a spring cleaning for the studio. I looked at that blank canvas on the easel today and thought it would be wonderful if I could start out everyday with a symbolically blank canvas in my head -- no complaints, no judgments -- perhaps that would qualify me for sainthood! New underpaintings with color descriptions to be posted here in the next couple of days. DC

"MAYORDOMO" - Now available as a Studio Edition Print.

(Visit the High Road Print Catalogue to order)
A Mayordomo is the official elected to maintain the irrigation system known as the Acequia Madre -- centuries old "Mother Ditches" that bring water from the mountains to the villages here in northern New Mexico. He oversees the spring cleaning of the ditches (as seen in the painting) and manages control of the water to ranches and fields. The original painting "Mayordomo" was completed as an homage to my first Truchas friend, the local Mayordomo, Cosme Romero. I was living at the ranch on Llano Quemado on the outskirts of Truchas. One day Cosme brought his wife, Carmelita, and his daughter, Susie, to welcome me to the community. He was a kind and gracious man with a wonderful sense of humor.
