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....... 

 

 



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.

I've been posting a painting a day to my new Daily Paintworks Gallery,

including this one, which I painted today.  I'm hoping

to return to painting a small piece each day.  I think that exercise has given me

an opportunity to try some new things, work with other colors, and

do studies on some subjects on which I've been wanting to work

for awhile.

 

There have been some nice days recently, so Lucie and I can get

outside in the sunshine.  As long as Lucie can get out (that also translates to

 

"get her way"), she doesn't care how much time I spend in the studio!

 

Stay tuned........

I submitted this painting today to the Daily Paintworks Challenge.  Actually, this was last week's challenge, so I'll be getting busy on the subject for this week.....an historical building.

 

Stay tuned......

I'M ON WWW.DAILY PAINTWORKS.COM

Today, I joined Daily Paintworks, an online gallery of artists,

 where I'll be posting my small works for sale.  In my next blog, I hope to be able

to create the link so you can go directly to my gallery page there.  

Meanwhile, this is a test, and if it works, they'll pull this image and the

corresponding information, and it will appear for purchase tomorrow 

on my page on their site.

At this moment, I think she's right!).
