Summer in Santa Fe

Hello friends. I’ve said this before but I can’t believe how quickly this year is moving. My 2022 goal was to do better communicating with my art blog. I have fallen behind again in that effort, but I am happy to report I have been creating this summer.

I have spent the past three months in my happy place, Santa Fe, NM. I’ve visited dozens of art galleries and museums, attended art fairs and met some amazing new artist friends. When I’m not doing these things I’m in my casita painting, seeing the beautiful sites, or spending precious time with good friends here in Santa Fe.

I finished eight new paintings of varying sizes this visit. I look forward to getting them photographed and added to my website soon. Working on the logistics of getting them home now. Here are just a couple pics of a few of the paintings in progress.

One of the most beautiful places in Northern New Mexico, in my humble opinion, is the area surrounding Rio Chama Valley near Ghost Ranch. Georgia O’Keeffe loved and lived in this area. I return every time I’m in Santa Fe. The area is beautiful in any season.

Happy 2021 Quotes.jpg

I can’t believe we are already halfway through the first month of 2021. Anyone else out there who still has their Christmas tree up? All other holiday decorations have been stored away, but I’m finding some comfort in having a Christmas tree still lighting our home. I hope you and yours had a wonderful holiday season. Only 345 more days till Christmas!!

The landscape of 2021 is still unkown, but I am optimistic we will continue to slowly get back to a new normal with vaccines rolling out and people getting back to work. I’m excited about getting back into my studio to create new artwork. My mind is filled with flowers and floral inspired art at the moment. Don’t be suprised if you start seeing some coming out soon.

Spring Anticipation

Spring Anticipation is a painting I started several months ago and just finished last week. It has a beautiful Spring like feel to it. It would compliment many decor situations, including a nursery or child’s room. And, it would make a fabulous one of a kind Valentine’s Day gift. If you’d like more information on this artwork, simply click on the images above.

Thank you so much for being a fan of my artwork. I truly appreciate your love and support. You help make my dream a reality. Wishing you many wonderful adventures in 2021!!

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary

With only a few more weeks left in 2020 I wanted to take time to say how grateful I am to have such wonderful fans and collectors of my art. Your support means the world to me, especially during the challenging times we’ve had this year. It has been a difficult time for everyone and you’ve been in my thoughts and prayers.

I’m looking forward to a renewed faith going into 2021 So many events had to be cancelled or postponed this year. Hoping we can get back to actual live art openings and exhibitions in 2021. I also want to thank the galleries that represent me. It has been a most challenging year for them as well. Thank you to Hat Ranch Gallery and Turquoise Butterfly Gallery in Santa Fe, NM; and Sloan Home in Atlanta, GA. And, in Tampa a big thanks to Dwell Home.

Art is one thing we can count on to always be with us. Art can brighten up a room and a mood. Art brings reminders of places and people that are dear to our hearts. I have found comfort this year in the artwork decorating our home.

The end of the year is a time of year for remembrance. We take stock of where we came from, and have a moment to think about where we are going, as we pursue the future with hope. May your new year be all that you hope for, and may it be sprinkled with love and friendship. Happy Holidays!

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary
