26 January 2009 -- Good Morning from Taos! -- This is the view from my kitchen window -- I have looked at this scene for almost twenty years now and it never appears quite the same. Some years ago my neighbor built a pond in front of his barn and every so often a pair of whooping cranes just fly by to my great delight! This week I am really busy blocking in new paintings for my May exhibit -- will resume posts and auctions next week. Stay tuned. DC

Good Monday to All! "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" - William Shakespeare.......
7 January 2009 -- No explanation necessary - huge snowstorm two days ago -- the snow plow came through today and helped me dig out the driveway -- very quiet, very beautiful -- soft and silent, but I do know why birds fly south for the winter! DC

"NESTLED IN" - 28"X22" New Original Oil Painting on Fine Belgian Linen, framed in gold with Linen Liner. One of the things I truly love about painting is the freedom I have to create my own reality-- to change an image -- "pentimento" -- to paint over what I thought was good two days or two weeks ago. Am almost embarrassed that I looked at siesta in grey for almost three years before it became "Siesta in Red" (see blog archived photo July 21st at http://donnaclair.blogspot.com). It finally became the painting I always hoped it could be.

"WINTER DREAMS" Hello from snowy Taos! -- This is one of my all-time favorite places -- it was the winter road home to the ranch on Llano Quemado, Truchas. Laid in supplies of groceries - if it snowed during the Christmas holidays, the snow plow wouldn't make it for a few days. Lots of books to read ... silence, coziness ... peace.
