I am sitting in front of the fire drinking my coffee as the sun comes up behind the Grande Mesa,  I treasure this silent time of the morning.  I am pondering the coming week. Another Thanksgiving is upon us.  I think it is one of my favorite holidays.  It will just be a small one again this year .  Just my immediate family minus Hannah. She will be in Florida for Thanksgiving and will be coming home for Christmas.  Time.  It just goes by so fast.   As i look at the list of my blog entries I realize I have been writing this blog now for 4 1/2 years.  almost monthly.  

If you did not see my last blog post,  I have been invited to show my art at the Church in Denver on December 7th with Conception Arts.  For me it is really exciting to think about going to the big city with my art.   I am super excited that my sister Cori and her husband Rick will be here from California as well as local friends I hope.  As I have a large collection of paintings ( obviously I cannot bring them all) and I paint big, I have requested a double space.  I do have to pay for the spaces.  

The cost is defrayed by selling tickets. The tickets are $20 a piece. They must be purchased by 12/02.  Thank you to those from afar who cannot make it but have been kind enough purchase a ticket to support me .  It means the world to me .  

If you would like to purchase a ticket you can do so here.    conceptionarts.com/artist/yIunkht

I now have 2018 calendars!   This will be my third year doing calendars.  The calendar has 13 of my original paintings and they are $30 each.   The can be purchased on my website  here.   Featured Products

​

From my heart to yours I pray that you enjoy time with family and friends this Thanksgiving and that you take time, above and beyond,  recognize the gifts that lie ahead of you, behind you and at your feet at the present moment.  
​
Thank you for the support you offer me in so many ways

Love.

It has been a stunning November 1! 

 The sun, the light, the clouds, the colors, the roasted acorn squash.   Still warm enough to grill our dinner outside.    I got to go on a beautiful desert bike ride today.   I thought about the fact that November holds Thanksgiving.  My favorite holiday.   For me November is about gratitude.   Do I struggle and feel pain ?  Of course.  There are some things in my life that make me very sad.    But I do have a lot to be thankful for.  

As I got home from my bike ride and the light and color was perfect I went to my studio to sign a painting and prepare it for shipping.   I walked through my studio and my home and I was stopped at every corner with all of the paintings that hang, sit  and lie in my home.   How did this happen?  How did I create this?   Some no longer lie near me but they are scattered around the US.  But how did this left brained, logical, scientific ish person do this?  What started back then during a very difficult time has left a huge story.   I love every single painting and they ALL speak.  If they don't,  I am not done.   I have to share this!!!

I have to have a show!  Not for the purposes of selling my art though  that would be a bonus but to share it.  My paintings blow my mind, soothe my soul, light my light,  and ease my burdens.   I honestly am humbled at this time of reflection to see what I have created.  I need to show it.  I am  planning an open house at my home on December 2nd ( for those who are local)  but I am not sure that i have the sufficient space to show it.     It will definitely be a great start.  This is my moment to manifest.   

 I SEE A POP UP GALLERY.   For one or two nights.     It will be a gathering of people, a sharing of light, snacks and cheers and art.   It may not be this year, but it will be.  It will be amazing.  If you know of a great space that has great energy,  great light.  and you can get my foot in the door.  ideally not too far away.  speak your truth. I am ready to share my stuff!  

I am not an artist who actively seeks to be in a gallery.   I would if it felt good.  But I do have a lot to share.  I see a space with big walls.  A sort of industrial commercial space.  food, cheer. people, friends, support.   A portion of proceeds to be donated .

And so to abundance and gratitude this November.  For all that is.  

And for all of this , I am very thankful.
