ACTION FOR THE FUTURE

  I drove from Colorado Springs to Taos, New Mexico last week and was in awe of  the colors of the landscape. As I drove through the San Luis Valley the willows along the creek beds were a stunning burnt orange with a touch of magenta.  The trees told the story of their ancestry by [...]

TAOS STUDIO WORKSHOP

My last workshop of the year was filled with four delightful women from four different states….California, Louisiana, Illinois and Texas.  This workshop was an add-on to my schedule and I held it in my Taos studio.   My studio is great but rather small.  Four tables, four women, many stories, much laughter and lots of [...]

PASTOR ON HORSEBACK

Last Sunday morning I went with my friends, Lovey, Glo and Beth, to the El Pueblito United  Methodist church in El Prado, just outside of Taos.  It was a special outdoor service as the pastor, Steve  Wiard,  rode in on horseback and shared his thoughts while seated on his beautiful Palomino, Biscuit. This is a [...]

TAOS ABSTRACT WORKSHOP

Here is the class picture from the workshop in Taos last week.  Fabulous people who joined creative thoughts and produced many wonderful paintings.  It always amazes me when a class comes together as this one did.  They were supportive of each other, painted with all their heart, each suffering silently in frustration with the newness [...]

BIRTHDAY DAY

I usually blog each Monday but this past Monday was my birthday.  I decided to give the whole day to myself.  No computers, no emails!  Birthdays should be a day you give to yourself the gift of celebration, belief in self while wrapping yourself in love. On my birthday I always give myself a gift. [...]

Entering Taos, New Mexico

Each time I enter Taos I feel a sense of calm and serenity.  I purchased a 100 year old adobe home there which I am in the process of renovating.  It is my place of peace.  I  went there a couple weeks ago to close up the house and winterize the garden.  The third day [...]
