Hot Air

A few shots from Albaquerque.

Journal This

I'm not much on journaling. I begin well. At least the first day or two and then I lose steam. But I have recently been inspired by some artists on the web who do a "painting a day" and decided I could try my own version. Something more on the order of a "painting every other day or so". So here is something from the first part of October. Maybe I'll catch up. These are in no way to be considered complete paintings or drawings. More on the order of doodles. Less pressure to think of it that way:) This first sketch in in water-soluable oil pastels. Couldn't locate a brush, so I used a wet finger. [and no, I didn't lick it]

Mission and Graveyard at Santa Rosa, NM

I love the "Great Southwest". My husband and I recently made a trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the Balloon Fiesta. Besides the exciting hotair balloon show, we took a scenic drive along the less traveled "high road" to look at mountains and missions . There's nothing like the blue of the sky in that part of the country! I'm hill girl but there is just something about these alien vistas that speaks to my artistic soul. If you've never made the trip, take the trip [aka Roger Miller]. I'll post a few hotair balloon pics a little later.
