Good morning! A beautiful day in the neighborhood!  - Gave this painting to my brother, Jim, years ago right after it was completed.  Have always felt this is one of my best pieces.  Jim had it hanging in his Chicago office until he retired. Knowing that he has downsized and no longer has room in his home for this large piece, I have offered to sell it for him.  This piece would ship from Wisconsin and costs are included in the price of the painting.

CREATE PEACE...

“The images of peace are ephemeral. The language of peace is subtle. The reasons for peace, the definitions of peace, the very idea of peace have to be invented, and invented again. Children, everybody, here’s what to do during war: In a time of destruction, create something. A poem. A parade. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful moment.”—From THE FIFTH BOOK OF PEACE, Maxine Hong Kingston (Original Oil Painting "First Light" by Donna Clair).

INTRODUCING GABE ABRUMS.....

Introducing Gabe Abrums, Owner of Chimayo Trading Del Norte.  About a month ago I received an e.mail that Gabe would like to work with me to sell my paintings,  We have met and made a good connection.  Both he and his wife were raised in Chimayo, New Mexico - and, for the first time, I have someone who truly knows the places in northern New Mexico where I have lived and painted for fifty years.  This is new - and over the next few months, we will learn to work together.  In the meantime all my original paintings will be available through Collector's Gallery on my website.  Some can still be purchased through my studio and others will go through the  gallery. Gabe will also be showing some of my paintings in Santa Fe this weekend.

OBJECTS OF ART/SANTA FE - A special show  - El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, 555 Camino de la Familia.  Friday/Sunday - 11Am to 5PM.

In Taos the gallery is located in the historic Ranchos de Taos Plaza, right near the beautiful and iconic St. Francis Church. I love this old church  have prayed there many times. Somehow this all feels right.  I am very happy to have made this connection and hope that you will visit the gallery or my website to keep up with my new work.  A huge sigh of relief that now I will have more time to paint - always a good thing!
