Time flies!

I can't believe that I only have 12 more days before I go back to the UK.  I have been really busy getting paintings finished and revamping my website, which I am hoping will go live soon.

Since I have been here, I have partaken in two exhibitions at Ventana Fine Art and prepared two paintings for the Small Works, Great Wonders show at the  National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.  Barry and I enjoyed the Paint Out day on Canyon Road, Santa Fe and met lots of clients and lovely people.  It was fun. Lots of good food and of course, wonderful art!! We have painted up in the mountains and at Ghost Ranch and to be honest, I am not really ready to leave beautiful New Mexico yet.

I am working on a really big painting at the moment and have documented the stages because I have had many requests to show my way of working.  I am sorry I have been so bad at dealing with these requests, but, well, as you know, I have had a busy year.  I will post this next time... 

Thanks for sticking with me during these difficult months.  Your kind words have been so helpful.

So, here are a few photos from the last few weeks.

On the easel and pretty much done!

I think Connie did such a great job hanging of these little ones.

New Exhibition

I am back in New Mexico now and getting ready for our show on 3rd October.  I will be here until 18th November.  It's wonderful to be back and I am looking forward to staying in one place for a while after all the running about I have had to do this last seven months.   Once the show is over I am excited to get out and paint.

If you are in or near Santa Fe, please come to our opening.

Barry has a show at Ventana Fine Art this coming Friday, 14th October,  5 - 7 pm.  Please go if you can!  When he came over to visit me in the summer, he nipped over to France to stay with our friend Michael in Avignon and  they went out painting together.  He also went to visit one of his favourite painters....

Video of Barry McCuan

Here is a link to a new video of Barry being interviewed and doing a little bit of painting, commissioned by our gallery, Ventana Fine Art. I think it's rather nice. I hope you enjoy it!

Barry McCuan's Solo Show

Here is a link to Barry's solo show at Ventana Fine Art, opening this Friday 8th October. Sadly, I won't be attending, unless of course someone has a private jet!!

The above painting is one of Barry's wonderful boat paintings inspired by our trips to Dungeness Beach, Kent. I love the clouds.

I am busy working on new paintings for a show in January called 'Sacred Creatures' on Sanibel Island at the Watson Macrae Gallery.
