HERE I GO AGAIN! Another New Beginning
8 September 2010 - It's that time of the year again when I begin to block in new paintings to work on through the winter. Have had several field trips so far with a lot of new material. In the right hand corner of this photo is the new 48"x48" canvas called "POPPY LOVE GRANDE" which I will reveal in stages on this blog. This week I will also post photos of original oil paintings to be sold via EBay store. Stay tuned for previews of my new studio work. If you have any questions, just give me a call (575)758-7454 or send query via e.mail.

BACK TO THE EASEL!
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

"TAOS AFTERNOON SHADOWS" - NEW 48"X36" OIL PAINTING
"TAOS AFTERNOON SHADOWS"
New! 48"x36" Orig. Oil on Linen
Framed in Silver with Linen Liner
Began this canvas in January, although the source photo was made the year before....16 January 2010 - I didn't want to miss this beautiful light I saw from my kitchen window last winter. Grabbed my trusty digital camera and shot the photo right through the window. The 48"x36" canvas is gesso toned with Payne's Grey. The "cartoon" of the painting is Prussian Blue. I ran the photo through my large Epson printer to get a 16"x20" print of the photo as a point of reference. Yesterday I placed a grid on the photo (not the canvas) to guide me in proportions. This is one of the five large canvases I want to complete this year.
More than participants in life, I believe artists are, of necessity, observers. Have looked out at this view from my kitchen window for over twenty years. One of the advantages of not having a dishwasher is that my daily clean up becomes a wonderful meditation and I get to observe all the life that would normally pass me by. These trees didn't even exist when I first looked out this window. What I saw was the little Baptist Church to the east across Salazar Road -- and on Sunday evenings heard the beautiful guitar music and hymns echoed across the field. The spring winds blew the seeds of these trees from Santistevan Lane across the fence. Now I get to watch the magpies build their nests and hatch their babies. I see the crows swirl menacingly around the nests each spring and then swarms of magpies defend their hatchlings. Hundreds of migrating birds rest in these trees each November on their way south -- and an occas ional Sandhill Crane passes by on her way to my neighbor's pond. Wonder if I somehow missed my true calling by spending most of my time at an easel........I could just spend all my days sitting in the middle of a forest, just watching and listening!
