GIVING THANKS.....

11/24/15 -

Giving thanks today - tremendous gratitude for all the likes and wonderful comments from my Art Friends.....as some of you know, this has not been an easy year for me but as of this morning I am still here in my little studio in Tesuque, have just had a delicious cup of coffee and am getting ready to set up a new palette in preparation to sit down at the easel and paint for most of the day. Your kindness and support have made all the difference in my life these past eleven months. Wishing each and every one love and peace - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

HOMENAJE A LA VIDA....

Homenaje a la Vida - A very large painting I did years ago - Mexican women mourning - honoring the lives of loved ones now gone. I love the strength of these women - the power in their faces - the way they have come together. Lighting a candle today..... This painting was purchased by Jack and Bill, the founders of Artisan/Santa Fe when they first opened their store - and as far as I know was passed along and still resides in Santa Fe.
