The spring weather this week has gone from sunny 8o degrees to rain, sleet, and wind in a manner of seconds.
My transition from April into May brought quite a bit of movement and a few delays.
.
My three-month art fellowship at The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation ended with a few finished pieces and many still in progress. Here is a link to the work being produced here: The Work
I packed up my studio/home and fit all contents into the front, side, trunk and top of my car and carried myself and belongings an hour down the road to Abiquiui New Mexico to facilitate a week long workshop on the creative process and paint at ghost ranch, the once home of Georgia O’Keeffe. Our group was talented and lively, all responding in their own authentic way’s to the land and the sky.You can visit Ghost Ranch images:

One
flat tire and time belt later on my journey back to Taos I have landed
an art studio at the The Arroyo Secco Community Center which is a bike
ride through spotted ranches, gardens and horses which merges onto
dirt road mesas, coyote dodging sage to my little rented casita for the summer. I find the quietude and
vast landscape healing. For the first time in a long time I can
actually hear my thoughts with clarity. This is a place where the astral plane literally conjoins with earth. The mountain sits at 7,000 feet meeting the river gorge which plunges to mysterious depths.
