Summer in Santa Fe

July 28, 2022

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.

Thank you for following along on my journey friends. Your support truly means the world to me. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little visit to my happy place. If you’d like to view more of my artwork, please click the button below.

Welcome 2021

Welcome 2021

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, oil and wax on artboard

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.

Hopeful Art in Quarantine

Hopeful Art in Quarantine

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
