STUDIO NEWZ:  Beginning to block in four or five larger paintings from my field trips last fall -- it will take two to three weeks to do sketches and underpaintings.  I will post my progress on my Art Journal along with basic color notes.  In the meantime I will auction a few more paintings from my 100 Small Paintings project.  Saw some tree trimmers in the neighborhood today - could it be that spring is just around the corner?

STUDIO NEWZ:  As promised, here is the first of four new canvases.  Early one evening about  two weeks ago as I took out the trash I saw this incredible light - Santistevan Lane just glowed.  This huge gray cloud hung over the setting sun intensifying the light.  Couldn't resist getting photos and the next day I started the underpaintings.  Sometimes it is worth doing one's chores!  Enjoy!

HOKUSAI........

Taos Art Supply posted this wonderful quote from Hokusai - the greatest Japanese printmaker. Gives me the impetus to continue and to hope I can have the experience that "every dot, every dash - will live"! What a great thought to prepare for a new year of painting.....

I have drawn things since I was six. All that I made before the age of sixty-five is not worth counting. At seventy-three I began to understand the true construction of animals, plants, trees, birds, fishes, and insects. At ninety I will enter into the secret of things. At a hundred and ten, everything--every dot, every dash--will live”
― Hokusai Katsushika

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM TAOS!
