What Year is It?

What Year Is It?

Anyone else out there like me who is still having a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that it is actually 2022? Hope it’s not just me. It’s mid February and I feel like I just got the Christmas decorations put away and still haven’t figured out where the heck 2021 went.

I realize I haven’t done a blog post in a over a year. Again I don’t know what happened to 2021!! Things were really crazy and nothing seemed to happen when or as it should have. Fingers crossed that that will change going forward this year. My goal is to touch base with you monthly via my blog as it’s getting more difficult for social media posts to be seen these days. I’m still on Facebook and Instagram, you just might not be receiving my posts.

I know most of the country is shoveling snow now, so how about some spring inspired art to brighten your day? Just click on the images below for more information.

I want to say THANK YOU so much for hanging in there with me friends. Wishing the very best for everyone this year. Let’s all watch out for each other okay? I truly appreciate your love and support. You help make my dream a reality.

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary

Hopeful Art in Quarantine

Hopeful Art in Quarantine

Peonies in Pink, oil and wax on paper

Hello friends. Hoping you and yours are coping as well as you can during this trying time in our global situation. I admit that this self-isolation routine has been hard for me. I am blessed to have my studio at home to paint, but find it’s sometimes difficult to find the motivation to paint. But I believe that art heals, and brings hope and joy. That is why I paint.

Here are a few of the new paintings I’ve done during this time of quarantine. These are smaller works on paper that are not only affordable, but a great way to start or add to your art collection. I hope you will enjoy them. You can click on the image for more info on each artwork.

My annual trip to Santa Fe has been postponed due to the Corona virus. I’m very sad to have had to cancel my trip, but New Mexico is suffering the same way the rest of the country is. All the galleries, shops and museums are closed and the summer festivals cancelled. I’m hoping to go back there as soon as it’s safe to travel. As many of you know, Northern New Mexico is the inspiration for my artwork.

Our new normal has yet to be determined, but in the meantime it’s important to remain positive and take all the necessary precautions you can to keep you and your family safe. We are following self isolation and social distancing ourselves.

I’m happy to say that Fine Art America has made cloth masks available with my artwork. Here are just a few samples of the masks you can select from. If you have a favorite artwork, but don’t see a mask simply let me know and I can create one for you. Click on the images below for more details on these masks.

Thank you so much for being fans, patrons and collectors of my art. Your support means the world to me, and I wouldn’t be here without your support.

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary

Hello Spring

Hello Spring

Daisies on Parade no 1

March is almost over and today is the first day of Spring. Either 2017 is really in a hurry to be over or it's just me. I've been so busy these first three months of the year and I just want to share a little of what is going on in my life.  

After starting the year out with a solo show at the historic Rialto Theatre in January I've been painting non-stop preparing for my next show in April at Red Door Gallery no. 5 in Tampa.  I'm so lucky to be sharing this show with my good friend and artist, Elizabeth Fontaine-Barr. The show's title is Color Chemistry and it couldn't be a more perfect fit for us. If you're in town I invite you out to see us on Friday, April 7.  Please visit my Facebook page for more details.   

If you are not a regular on Facebook you may be missing out on some of my new artwork. I apologize that it's been a while since my last blog. I'll share a few of the new pieces with you. 

Small Blessings no. 2, 10" x 10" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

Desert Varnish, 20" x 24" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

Peaceful Journey, 20" x 20" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

Oh, and did I mention I accept commissions? I'm currently starting work on two commission pieces and can't wait to see my collectors reactions when I present them with their finished pieces.

If you're on Instagram I invite you to follow me at mbmirabal.  I share daily and  love interacting with my followers.  

Well, I should get back to work my friends.  Thanks for visiting with me and please feel free to leave comments. I love reading them and always respond. Have a wonderful Spring and please feel free to share my site with your art loving friends.

Blessings my friends, your artist Mary
