Gwen Fox's Blog: Where creativity unites with success

TIME AND REFLECTION

Today is a bone chilling day as the temperature will reach a delightful high …yes high…of 9 degrees.  Snow fell softly all day yesterday.  It was a good day to stay inside, have a cup of hot chocolate, read, paint and dream. I found out last night a good friend and fellow artist, Barbara Roeming, [...]

NEW YEAR…NEW LIFE

The is the start of a brand new year. Fresh, no baggage, clean, free of any mistakes and ready for you to decide this will be your best year yet.  New Year.. New Life. Just how do you do this? By deciding to be what you have always dreamed. Yes, actually “be that person….fulfill that [...]

A NEW MAN IN MY LIFE

I have never been in love with a man  who required extra care, being fed special meals several times a day, required being watched 24/7 and  YEE GADS….. the need to be potty trained !!!!! I am not normally drawn to a man with lots of hair or one who is rather pudgy. But this [...]

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 [...]

FOLLOWING THE RULES ?

There are lots of rules in art and then there are few. Don’t kid yourself, art and artistic expression is a political game.  Like it or not you play or you lose.  Find out the decorator colors for the season, move in the right circles,  learn color theory, be an expert in design and composition, [...]

GLORIOUS ABSTRACT CLASS IN TAOS

    With the kinks worked out about reducing the dpi, making sure it was a jpg and  finally uploading the photos, I can now show you how much fun the  Glorious Abstract class had.  The photo above shows the class with our class mascot, Emma.  They are standing outside the Stables Gallery and workshop [...]

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 [...]

CREATIVE ENERGY

A visit from my children and grandchildren makes one realize how much energy it takes to raise a family…… a lot !!!   I see and feel the energy here  in New Mexico with such strength  it is interesting to find my children and grandchildren feel it as well. When my five year old granddaughter, Sophie, [...]

TAOS, NEW MEXICO

It has been a long time since I have blogged. Several thing have happened that I would like to share with you. First, during a regular walk with my dog Emma I tripped over a small tree trunk.  Tripping while going down hill isn’t recommended.  Not able to recover my balance I slid down hill [...]

THE STUDIO

Today I moved my furniture into my new  studio. The garage doors have not been installed but plastic works just fine.  Furniture in place, shelves awaiting organization…items holding their breath wondering where they will be placed.  My first job was setting up the music.  It now floats  through the air dispensing peace to my heart.
