Staying on the Warm side of the Door!

Up the Drive

I'm behind getting my newsletter out. Mid January brought us much needed snow in southeast Utah. I wasn't expecting the amount of snow we received. My husband, just days earlier had rotator cuff surgery. I learned to operate our tractor and moved snow for a few days. We have had cold temperatures and snowstorms which makes me appreciate the warm side of the door!

I want to thank a collector from Tennessee for adding this 10x10 oil painting of

"The Mittens", an iconic image in Monument Valley, to his collection.

Sometimes having spots of color in a group setting or one painting in a special area brings the joy of a memorable trip to the southwest!

Paintings in Progress

Abajo Mts.

Grand Shadows

The painting of the horse head on the Abajo Mountains in Monticello is a commissioned painting by a collector. It is stylized and vibrant! A few more touches of paint and it will be wrapped in a gorgeous float frame.

The canyon painting casting its shadows is about finished, it needs a few strokes of vibrant color. The Grand Canyon is so full of shapes and contrasts.

Handsome Lad

This 20x20 oil on canvas, named "Handsome Lad" is headed to the 42nd Annual Juried Exhibition in Sedona, Arizona. I enjoyed having him around the studio for a while, but I was thankful to have him selected with more than 250 entree's.

If you are interested, and local to my area, I am preparing to have a small Watercolor Batik class in my home in the month of March. Dates have not been set. This will be a preparation for my upcoming two day Workshop of the same that will be held in Mancos, CO through the Mancos School of the West. Respond to this newsletter if you have any questions about cost and materials.

I wish you the warmth on the inside of your door when you aren't outside doing SNOW fun or COLD fun!
