We had a great time camping at the beginning of the week. We found a new spot in the western mountains of New Mexico where we didn't see a single person the entire time! That is a true rarity when camping anymore! The weather was perfect, right around 80 degrees with overnight lows in the 50s. We hiked for hours and sat around the campfire. The boys took a couple of friends and enjoyed having their own camp away from us. Of course they came back for mealtimes!
Now I'm back to work in the studio. Getting ready for another show this weekend. This is a Saturday only show in downtown Albuquerque. The Neighborhood Market is located at 8th and Gold and runs from 10am to 4pm. I hope to see some locals out there this weekend! Last month, the local Albuquerque Tribune was out at the market shooting video and interviewing the promoter. Today the article came out in the paper and they have also posted a video with my painted guitar featured prominently in it! In addition to the Neighborhood Market video, my husband was recorded playing a couple songs on his guitar! So check out both videos below and let me know what you think!

I hope to have some new paintings finished soon to post here. I'm working on a couple of larger pieces for the Gallup gallery show in August. I also need to get started on a much larger canvas soon.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!!

Summertime and the living's busy!
Seems I can't get caught up these days. Lots going on!
Painting everyday to get ready for a gallery show in August at the House of Lyndon, Gallup, NM.
Getting stocked for the New Mexico State Fair in September. I have a booth again this year in the Enchantment Arts and Crafts section. This year, instead of being tucked behind a building and across from the petting zoo, we will be out on the main street of the fairgrounds! I will also have a booth to myself this year as last year I shared a booth with an artist friend. So I have more space to fill! The fun part about this year is that my husband will be out there with me everyday since he is now a full time performer. He's working on getting some bookings for the Fair, but otherwise will be with me at the booth, playing his guitar and selling cds.
This weekend(July 14,15th) and two weekends a month I will be out at the Tijeras Art Market. I will post the dates as soon as I know them for sure. This week I will be sharing the booth with my artist friend, Josephine Brionez de Flores
Saturday, July 21st I will be back out at the Neighborhood Market in downtown Albuquerque. At the corner of Gold and 8th, hours are 10am to 4pm.
I've designed and started to build frames for my small daily paintings. They are made from raw lumber into 3 inch wide painted wood frames. I'm planning to paint each frame to go with the painting it is intended for. The painting will extend out into the frame and turn an 8 inch painting into a 14 inch framed painting.
I am preparing my next instrument for painting. Not sure when I will start the actual painting, still have to gesso it. This one isn't a guitar, it's a Russian instrument called a Balalika(spelled wrong I'm sure!). I love the shape and I can hardly wait to paint it! I have had an awesome response on the guitar and want to have a whole row of painted instruments to show eventually.
On a personal note, I've been getting stuff moved around at the house and moved into my studio still. My middle son returned this morning from 6 months at his dad's in Arkansas. I am so happy to have him back! I now have all my sons living at home again!

Neighborhood Market
Forgot to take my camera, so I will post photos later! :(
The good news is that the Market was a great success and considering this was the first Saturday, I can hardly wait to see how it will grow! NM Business Weekly wrote an article about the Market and mentioned my name! Check out the link below.

Hope to see more people out in the coming weeks!

The Neighborhood Market
Busy, busy, busy this week. Tomorrow is the start of The Neighborhood Market in downtown Albuquerque. If you are in the Albuquerque area, please come check it out! It will be loaded with lots of great art and music, great place to shop for that last minute Mother's Day gift! I will try to remember to take my camera so I can share photos of the market for those of you who aren't in the area.
The Neighborhood Market is located downtown on Gold between 7th and 8th Streets, behind the Flying Star. Hours are 10-4 every Saturday through October.
