I just hung 17 pieces at the New Mexico Cancer Center. Fundraiser for a wonderful organization in Albuquerque, NM. I'm putting the pieces below for you to enjoy. All of the 12x12" pieces are framed to 14x14" and sell for $500. I have one larger piece and one smaller piece. If interested in either, please email Regina Held at: [email protected]. And if interested in a tour (9 artists' works): Gallery tours are best scheduled for late afternoons during the week, and Saturdays when we are less busy with patients. The NMCC is closed on Sundays, but I occasionally give tours on Sundays as well. Remember Regina Held does not have an office at the NMCC and will make a special trip to give a tour, so they need to be scheduled a few days in advance. The exhibit is up for nearly 3 months. Below is a copy of the postcard with info.

Then I have a smaller one: DAPHNE and I believe she is 8x8", framed to 10x10" selling for $300.

And lastly, a 24x24" piece: GERANIUMS. If interested, you'll have to email Regina Held for the price. I lowered it for the fundraiser and can't recall how low I put it. Maybe around $900. (down from $2200.)! [email protected]
GERANIUMS 24x24" framed

That's all for now. Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed it. 

Just a short note to let you know I had a painting reduced and printed for a 12x12" frame. The image is 10x10" on 12x12 archival paper. BLUE SKIES. If you'd like one (ready to frame), please message me here in the comments or at my personal email. The cost is $50. shipped to anywhere in the continental US. It is an open edition, thus, quite inexpensive. Thanks. Happy Season to you.

That text reads: "A bird does not singbecause it has something to say. It sings because it has a song." Chinese Proverb.
I paint with emothions moving the brush and my favored music playing loudly in my studio. I paint not to give advice, but to garner questions while giving no answers. It is for you, the viewer, to react in a manner that suits your senses.
I paint because it is what I do. I paint because I love the act of not knowing what I am going to paint but letting the paint and the music move me. An accident will happen sooner or later, and since I have been painting for so long, I recognize that and go with whatever that accident has to offer. My ork is inspired by the paine, the music and often by poetry and lyrics.

Hello, friends, collectors, newbies... I have started a small,  6 piece Haiku series of paintings. All 12x12" then framed. Just wanted you to know I haven't melted in the heat, rain is due soon and the bunnies and deer are eating most everything I plant. 

First:  Pink, red and salmon
            You there, on my windowsill
​            Oh! Geraniums.

OK and o boy! My 20 page zine just arrived and here I am offering it to collectors and interested friends. Of course paper/labor/postage... prices have gone up but I can still get this to you for $27. I have a limited amount of them this time 'round, so if you want one, please let me know asap, sending a check to me at P.O.Box 221, Hillsboro, NM 88042. I am getting excited to see the work all up together at RioBravoFineArt Gallery in Truth or Consequences, NM next month, April through May 2025.

Every year I take out a full page ad in TorC's fun Artists' Directory. This is my ad for this year. The Directory comes out in March and I'm anxious to see it. My 2025 solo exhibit is at RioBravoFineArt and opens the second Saturday of April. The 12th, I'm thinking, from 6-9pm. And I am awaiting the proof of my 20 page booklet with images of the works so will also have that for sale at $25. (the $5. covers shipping). 

It is the time of year when we need to realize how good our lives are. 

At this time I am readying work for my 2025 exhibition in April through March and am thankful to still be painting. I am 'mature' officially now (80 years) and also mature in my work. GRATEFUL!

In readying the work, I am also setting up a small, softbound booklet of ten or so images from the upcoming exhibit. Below is my proposed cover: GREY GARDEN. Acrylic and charcoal on canvas, 48x48". This is my latest painting and the last usually being my favorite. I am calling my exhibit MEDLEY because I have no common theme in all the work, just the common thread of the energy in my brush with the paint and drawing with charcoal in the works. 

You'll be hearing from me again as the exhibit nears. Thanks so much for your interest in my work! You make me smile.

Happy upcoming holiday time o'year!
