Give Thanks

Dear friends,

I have started my gratitude list for Thanksgiving week, something I do every year to reflect on the blessings of the year. And, I want you to know I count you among my many blessings. I am thankful for your kindness. I am thankful for the sharing of my art with friends and family. I am thankful for my collectors whose purchases allow me to continue painting. I am thankful for your daily company on social media. I would not be where I am today without God’s grace and your support.

May this coming Thanksgiving week find you counting the many blessings of this season of love, giving and sharing.

As we approach the Season of Giving I want would like to share I have artwork to fit just about every size and budget. From mini 6 x 6 inch oil paintings to 4 x 4 feet acrylic paintings. And, in addition to complimentary shipping, I also offer flexible payment plans on all purchases. Just contact me to discuss your specific needs.

These are just a few of the many options available for the art lovers on your list. To see all available art, please visit my online gallery by clicking the link below.

Thank you so much for being fans, patrons and collectors of my art. Your support means the world to me. Wishing you and yours a most blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary

Summer in Santa Fe

Hello friends. I’ve said this before but I can’t believe how quickly this year is moving. My 2022 goal was to do better communicating with my art blog. I have fallen behind again in that effort, but I am happy to report I have been creating this summer.

I have spent the past three months in my happy place, Santa Fe, NM. I’ve visited dozens of art galleries and museums, attended art fairs and met some amazing new artist friends. When I’m not doing these things I’m in my casita painting, seeing the beautiful sites, or spending precious time with good friends here in Santa Fe.

I finished eight new paintings of varying sizes this visit. I look forward to getting them photographed and added to my website soon. Working on the logistics of getting them home now. Here are just a couple pics of a few of the paintings in progress.

One of the most beautiful places in Northern New Mexico, in my humble opinion, is the area surrounding Rio Chama Valley near Ghost Ranch. Georgia O’Keeffe loved and lived in this area. I return every time I’m in Santa Fe. The area is beautiful in any season.

Thank you for following along on my journey friends. Your support truly means the world to me. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little visit to my happy place. If you’d like to view more of my artwork, please click the button below.

Happy Holidays 2020

Happy Holidays 2020

With only a few more weeks left in 2020 I wanted to take time to say how grateful I am to have such wonderful fans and collectors of my art. Your support means the world to me, especially during the challenging times we’ve had this year. It has been a difficult time for everyone and you’ve been in my thoughts and prayers.

I’m looking forward to a renewed faith going into 2021 So many events had to be cancelled or postponed this year. Hoping we can get back to actual live art openings and exhibitions in 2021. I also want to thank the galleries that represent me. It has been a most challenging year for them as well. Thank you to Hat Ranch Gallery and Turquoise Butterfly Gallery in Santa Fe, NM; and Sloan Home in Atlanta, GA. And, in Tampa a big thanks to Dwell Home.

Art is one thing we can count on to always be with us. Art can brighten up a room and a mood. Art brings reminders of places and people that are dear to our hearts. I have found comfort this year in the artwork decorating our home.

Is there someone on your list that would love an art gift? I have some wonderful original art pieces waiting to gift wrap and ship to their forever homes. Just click the gallery link for more info.

The end of the year is a time of year for remembrance. We take stock of where we came from, and have a moment to think about where we are going, as we pursue the future with hope. May your new year be all that you hope for, and may it be sprinkled with love and friendship. Happy Holidays!

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary
