Fall has Arrived and Painting is at the Forefront

It's been a while since I've had a chance to post....summer weather, vacation planning and then actual vacation has made me remiss in posting. I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer.

However, I haven't been absent from my artwork or planning for Fall events! I'm going to catch you up quickly and let you in on some secrets coming soon!

My art group Arts Northeast have been busy planning an event which is confirmed for December 1st. More details on this event will follow in the next weeks.

I was busy painting several paintings for a gallery (by request of the gallery) and a couple of commission paintings were in the works as well. One of these commissions is complete and in the hands of the new owners and the other is a large mural which is still in the planning stages...this looks like it will be my winter project.

Family vacation planning and then the actual three week vacation took up some of August and all of September. Safely home yesterday and I have started in earnest confirming class registrations for next week.

While on vacation, I was thinking of my plans for the Fall. Well, thinking of this in between purchasing new paint supplies while away. Some great finds and have even managed to use some of them while on vacation. I'll be posting my watercolour painting of a chickadee from my travels in the next day or so.

I've planned a few contests to reward my students and also my loyal followers and customers. More details on these contests will be released in the next few days and weeks as well!

And I'm working on an exciting event for November...I'll be releasing info on this event later in October.

And my quarterly newsletter is due out in October as well.

I look forward to posting more often now that Fall is upon us and sharing with you the events, artwork and other news with you on a more regular basis.

Cheers!

304 Canyon Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico - New Artwork

Santa Fe doors are like no doors anywhere else....they are all very unique. Most of the walking tours mention the doors numerous times. It's not anything I can describe, you have to see it to believe it.

My favourite door was at 304 Canyon Road....so I had to eventually paint it!

 

I took some artist license on cleaning up the foliage next to the door so that the focus would be on the door itself.

Many of the doors in Santa Fe and in New Mexico in general, lead to the garden and is not the front door to the house itself, which is the case for this door.

Some other doors I found on Canyon Road.....

The Grass is Greener

Today only on ArtBomb....The Grass is Greener. Special starting bid price.

Almost everyone knows the saying "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence", which means that someone's perception of another's circumstances is seen as more desirable than one's own reality. Well this ladybug doesn't think so and is thinking everything is bright and green enough right here! I hope this painting brings enough green to your life everyday and you will be as content as the ladybug and will not need to ponder what lies on the other side of the fence.
