            I was out in Albuquerque recently for an arts conference and for several nights in a row, we were treated to spectacular sunsets. As the sun sank lower in the sky, it illuminated the clouds and made the Sandia Mountains glow with a warm, peach light. I felt so fortunate that I was able to capture some photos to paint this wonderful view.

            I’ve been busier than I’d like to be this summer. I’ve done a lot of traveling which I enjoy but what I treasure the most about summer is the luxury of time to just breathe and enjoy my surroundings, much like this duck (called a Black Brant) is doing. When I paint scenes like this one, I’m reminded of and grateful for the serenity that nature provides.

            When I saw these two trees, I couldn’t get over how they seemed to be reaching their branches toward one another, drawn to each other but not able to actually touch. They’re like good friends or lovers, separated by distance but still trying to communicate.
            Happy Weekend!

            I’m packing my art supplies in preparation for a wonderful conference in New Mexico, just on art. For a few short days, I will take classes, view wonderful paintings, and try not to buy all of the cool art supplies on display. Most importantly to me, I will be surrounded by people who get as excited as I do by the creative process, by color and light, and by changes in the natural world. These hollyhocks, found on a corner in Old Town, Albuquerque always remind me of this wonderful communion of artistic souls.
            Happy Weekend!
