I am currently in Angel Fire and the wildflowers aren't quite as spectacular this year as they were two years ago. Me and wildflowers just go together. I'm going out today in search of beauty!
The feeling I get in New Mexico is really expressed in this painting.....light and shadow. This is one of my very favorite spots in Chimayo. This gate is right across from Santuario de Chimayo, a special, Holy place, blessed with spirit and stillness in the heart of New Mexico.
I found these wildflowers on a trek up the Angel Fire Mountain recently. They were hidden way back in a field. I had to hike quite a distance just to get to them. A very sunny look at a very sunny field of native New Mexico W, ildflowers!
Since New Mexico is one of my favorite places and gives me such inspiration, I was excited to be able to get artofnewmexico.blogspot.com. Earlier in the summer I spent a week in Angel Fire and painted 10 paintings! I'm looking forward to going back next weekend.
I am a native Texan. My lifelong passion has been painting any and everything, whether its a 2 x 3 inch miniature or a 14 foot wall mural. Somehow my passion
comes through the eyes of my lively personal pet portraits. I constantly continue my artistic journey
through studies with Texas artists, Kathleen Dello Stritto,
Elizabeth Locke and Carol Marine. A lot of my painting
inspiration comes from spending summers perfecting the
the art of the dazzling effects of New Mexico’s light and
its corresponding shadows from the spectacular and
inspiring landscapes of Georgia O’Keeffe Country to the
magical town of Taos and its surrounding vistas and
magnificent sunsets. My work can be found in Dallas at
Random in Inwood Village, Dallas, Texas and Rising, A Gallery, Dallas, Texas.
