Bedroom With Harbor View oil on cradled board 9 x 12 inch |
This is the third painting in my Cape Cod inspired series and there are three others in progress. Colorado is gorgeous right now, so I am a bit distracted by the outdoors.
The week before last, I got to spend some time in New Mexico. I had a wonderful time looking at some really beautiful art in Santa Fe. I also had the pleasure of meeting an artist who's work I have admired for several years now...Gigi Mills. Meeting her and seeing her art in person for the first time was absolutely delightful! Her art is so soulful to me. I just love it. She is best known as a painter, but her sculptures are very special too - take a look at the link to see some of her work at GF Contemporary.
I also got to see my dear friend in Las Cruces, Julie Ford Oliver. Julie and I first met through our blogs, then met in person in 2014 shortly after my mother's passing. Julie has a heart of gold and reached out by inviting me to her home so that I could attend a workshop she was teaching at her studio. It was medicine for my hurting heart. Then the following year she came to teach at the gallery I was in at the time Tessera Fine Art Gallery in Wichita, Kansas. Julie's art is extremely beautiful, always sells out, and her skill as a painter is very evident when you look at her work.
Until next time,
♥ Lisa
