This was painted from a photo I took during a last-summer visit

to Santa Fe.

 

We had fabulous weather here last week!  One day we had an all-day

gentle rain, Saturday several soft showers, and even a nice rain last evening. 

Temperatures were in the low 80's all week......this while the

rest of the country was burning up.  We have such good weather

here in Las Cruces all during the year, and even on our seldom rainy days we 

enjoy beautiful white fluffy clouds against usually sunny, crisp New Mexico blue skies.

 

H.R.H. Lucie prefers to sleep on rainy days.  A walk outside in the rain

would muss her beautiful sleek hairdo. 

(Please don't tell her I showed this photo to you.......)

 

 

It's beginning to cloud over....another shower coming????

 

Stay tuned.......

This has also been posted to the Daily Paintworks weekly 

Challenge.

In my last post I promised a really good shrimp recipe.  Here is a photo

to stimulate your curiosity:

This is so good, and so simple.  I peeled the shrimp before cooking

so it wouldn't be so messy to eat, but they can also be cooked in the

shell.  I wish I could take credit, but

the recipe can be found here.

Try it.  Let me know what you think. 

Stay tuned....

HAPPY JULY 4TH, AMERICA!

It's true that I haven't been here for a spell...too many irons in the fire,

and lots of family in and out. 

Lucie is absolutely correct in her philosophy of "doing what you

like best" (in her case that's sleeping), so it's back to

the easel for me (and a continuation of her favorite hobby, for her).

 

 

My painting post for today is Challenge #12 on the website,

"Let's Paint New Mexico".  I was saddened to learn that this site has been put 

temporarily (I hope) on hold.  Artist Dee Sanchez has done a great job with the

site but, like many of us, just has a shortage of time in her days.
