Sky Meadow Spirit

My gallery suggested I do a four panel piece and the result was this painting "Sky Meadow Spirit". The idea came while I was leafing through a magazine and I saw a photo of a beautiful lush meadow. I accidentally dropped a clipping of a sky scene onto the meadow photo and I loved the play of contrasts. So, two alternating panels are of a meadow and the other two are of the sky. The mysterious figure on the bottom of the third panel wasn't planned, he just appeared and I went with it. Very "Green Man" energy, all good.

"Releasing the Muse"

Here's a new painting hot off the easel. It's called "Releasing the Muse" and it's acrylic mediums and silk-screened Japanese paper underneath and then painted with oils. I thought I'd never finish this painting as it has evolved and mutated many times. But now it's done and hanging in a show at the Community Bank on Guadalupe and Paseo de Peralta here in Santa Fe. Show is up until Jan. 9, 2010. On to the next canvas!

NM Museums' Seminar

Yesterday, I went to a very interesting seminar that the NM Museums sponsored. Learned a lotta new stuff and here's some things I want share. Check out mashable.com for good demographics and Moo.com for business cards with lots of different images (great for artists!). I finished a new painting, loving it! Will post image later.

It's been awhile since I lasted posted anything. Been busy and I have great news: I am now gallery represented in Santa Fe! My art work can be viewed at Galerie Esteban, 241 Delgado St. (corner of Canyon Rd.), 505.988.1002, www.galerieesteban.com Also, I am having a show there this week! The artist reception opening is this Friday, July 10 from 5-8 pm.

And as if that wasn't exciting enough, my art is on the cover of the summer issue of Edible Magazine with an article I wrote, "Garden to Canvas", inside and three more images of my paintings! The summer edition of the magazine will soon be seen at www.ediblecommunities.com. Scroll down the page and click on Santa Fe. I'm thrilled and nervous both, wish me good luck!

Happy New Year

It is the start of another year and I feel very positive that this will be a year for great growth. My resolution is to play more, paint more and just enjoy life.

Oh yeah, and to spend more time on the computer to organize and promote my art. Approaching life fearlessly (Ok, yes there was a little fear of the computer.)

Welcome, 2009.
