MOVING ALONG! THREE NEW AUCTIONS ENDING FRIDAY.

Moving cartons arrived today.....giving away, packing up years and years of stuff.  Five paintings were "adopted" last week - would love to find good homes for these three as well.  Have my blank canvases all shapes and sizes ready for the new studio in Tesuque.  If you have any questions, just give me a call (575)758-7454.  Two or three more e.mails this week and then I will concentrate on packing for the move.  Thanks so much for all the good wishes!  This is exciting!  Best regards, Donna

MY EASEL AND I ARE MOVING TO TESUQUE!

Hello!  This past Sunday, after a lovely drive through Taos Canyon and seeing some early bird apple trees in bloom at Velarde, I was driven up a very narrow dirt road to an old compound of houses in Tesuque.  There it was... a casita, a perfect studio with wonderful skylights, brick floors, a fireplace and room for a vegetable garden.  It's that time in my life when I want to simplify, experiment and explore new ideas.  So, within the next three weeks I will pack up, give away, or sell 25 years of my life in Taos -- will take as little as possible in order to have a true New Beginning.  From now until the end of the month my e.mails will be a little more frequent because these auctions will include some of my prized favorites as well as my current studio inventory at very special prices.  This is a huge adventure...you are invited to join me. If you have any questions, just give me a call (575)758-7454.  Best regards, Donna - Taos
