TAOS ABSTRACT WORKSHOP
Here are pictures 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 of some [...]
THE BIRTH OF AN EVENING
It is a magical evening in Taos, New Mexico as I am sitting watching the sun set with such a golden glow that I am mesmerized with the beauty. How many times can we say this? The apricot sienna transparency caresses the adobe walls in such a way it takes my breath away. As I [...]
WHAT DO YOU WANT WHEN TAKING A WORKSHOP?
I teach workshops in Taos, New Mexico each summer and I LOVE IT!!! I love my students, I love teaching but most of all I love watching artists grow. When doing a five day workshop students live, eat, breathe and talk art for five fabulous days. They arrive from different environments, different countries, different thought [...]
TIME, FEELING AND OUTPUT
Time, feeling and output…..what does this have to do with painting? A lot actually. How many times have you gone into your studio and said to yourself…”I don’t feel like painting today”. Then what do you do? Do you pop some popcorn? Go for a walk? Call a friend and chat? Do the laundry? What [...]

Shelter Dogs
As a Abstract artist one would find it difficult to imagine me doing portraits of dogs….some cats. It all started with the loss of my German Shepherd, Annie. Annie was my rock. She knew me inside and out. She never failed me….she saved my life twice. Yet in her emergency I could not save her. [...]
Artist date
I had an artist date with myself the other day. I went walking in a park nearby and soaked up its wonderful calm energy. When I am feeling a little off, frazzled or mentally and emotionally down I find being in the presence of natures wonder always gets me back on track. My artist dates [...]
Organizational Skills
I decided, with the nudge of others, I needed a new photo of myself on my website. Today a friend of mine, Cindy, came by and took some shots of me in the yard. Cindy is the person who is teaching me….or should I say… trying to teach me how to become organized. Such a [...]
Creating in this economy
There is a lot of talk about the economy and the lack there of. How is this affecting you and your creative spirit? Do you watch the news and wonder if anyone will be able to purchase your paintings? With all the doom and gloom it is no wonder, as we enter the studio, our [...]
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
This is the time for all of us to step aside from our immediate needs and wants and see others as if they were our best friend. What are they going through and what are their needs. How can I help? We are all so very lucky and blessed. I am surrounded with fabulous family [...]
