The Otero Arts group had their inaugural Open House Art Show today and we had a good turn out over the 3 hours the show ran. 2 of my paintings were in it.

Hoping for more monsoon rain

The dogs finally have some lawn to chill on. The grass took over what used to be our garden and we took the fence down yesterday.

We got some desperately needed rain here in NM

Started the full scale version of the oil study

Completed the study. Start working on the larger version tomorrow

Current progress on oil study/test run for next full scale project: Artemis, Gaia and Persephone

Sold 2 oil paintings on canvas paper today! They were cheaply priced because I feel that people with little money should be able to buy something nice.

Started a study/test run for a larger canvas yesterday

And more

More

Still more

More of them

Finished the 1st batch of 16 8x10 Christmas present paintings #NewMexico

Finished an oil study on canvas paper done strictly in earth based pigments of Gaia.

Experimenting with new set/series of special New Mexico Abiguiu earth pigments.

Spectacular sunset yesterday

The last of my present paintings, but I am not entirely happy with it. It may need still more work. Sigh.
