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.

"Dreaming Big" is exactly what I was doing in I attempting the "fracturing

technique".  It was inspired by Julie Ford Oliver, and captured in 

her video ArtByte on the Daily Paintworks website. 

Challenging it was, but fun, so I'll try it again. 

Julie is a long-time friend, mentor, and fellow member of

the Southern New Mexico Art Guild here in Las Cruces.....

and outstanding artist.

 

Lucie has been like this pretty much ever since our grandchildren

left here to return home on Monday......

(she's going to be unhappy with me for showing you this).

 

Back soon.....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......
