AGUA FRIA - SANTA FE EXHIBIT

"AGUA FRIA" - 30" x 24" Original Oil on Fine Belgian Linen, Framed in Gold with Linen Liner.....now on exhibit at McLarry Fine Art Gallery, 225 Canyon Road, Santa Fe, N.M. Gallery opening, Friday, May 22nd - 5 to 7PM -- to view complete exhibit -- http://www.mclarryfineart.com/donnaclair.html

Am in a really quiet place right now -- it's almost here -- Friday evening, Santa Fe, family, friends, collectors. Rather than expection, what I feel is a wonderful sense of accomplishment -- doing the field work, gathering the supplies, gessoing the canvases - preparing the painting medium -- photographing the work, sharing the process on my blog, varnishing and framing the paintings -- and, finally, delivering them to the gallery. Am looking forward to the experience -- and am so happy to share this with Art Friends today -- am so grateful for your lovely e.mails and calls -- and especially for your encouragement....thank you! Time for me to start some new work! DC

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
