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....... 

 

 



HISTORIC RIO GRANDE THEATRE

"Rio Grande Theatre"

8"x6"     Oil

This is a study for a show coming up in May featuring "Main Street, Las Cruces NM". 

The Rio Grande Theatre has been designated an historic building...

the only restored two-story adobe theatre in the U.S. 

A 422-seat facility with state-of-the-art equipment, it is operated by

 the Dona Ana Arts Council, and is considered the "Jewel in the Crown

of Downtown Las Cruces".

 

I love this building.....I spent many hours here as a Board member of the

Arts Council.  As the subject for a small painting for the upcoming

show, however, it requires lots of detail work.   

Shall I?  or shall I select a subject that doesn't require 

my nose to be on the canvas? 

 

Stay tuned.......
