Even after 29 years here in northern New Mexico, I find much enjoyment
in the changing of the seasons, each bringing its own special
qualities, chores, and sometimes challenges. I like to think my
childhood experience of the climate of southeast Texas with its
alternating damp cold and humid heat makes me especially appreciative of
our four seasonal shifts. These paintings, each completed in its turn
over three months, compound my yearly pleasure in these particular
months. I am pleased that new approaches gained through the works on
paper of this summer, i.e. loose, more random application of bold color, and textural passages, have taken hold in my psyche and are very
evident in all of them. Having spent most of October working on
the wax of Awakening, November getting ready for our duo exhibit at
Back Street Bistro, and December finishing the clay of Expectation, with
two breaks to visit with my adult children and young grandchildren
(first Tucson, then Seattle), I was happy to return to painting and
complete (among other pieces) the final piece of the trio, Winter
Solstice. My website is newly updated, with
Awakening on her proper sculpture page and new works up on the
2012 page. As an expression of my gratitude to my collectors, past, present and future, I recently created a
Special Collectors Event. For details, click the link, which takes you to a special page on my website and a special offer!
