I don't think I will ever get use to the wind in the spring time here. Wind gusts of 40 to 50mph are not uncommon. Living in the dessert adds an issue to the wind- all that small particulate matter ( dust and sand) becomes airborn so sometimes this results in air quality warnings... But it is still beautiful. My poor Minnesota friends dealt with a few inches of snow earlier this week....I will take the wind.
We have been vaccinated and are 2 weeks out from it so feeling a bit better. In fact this past Saturday, the 10th- I took an in-person class at Remarque Print Workshop. There were 5 students- all vaccinated and there was plenty of room to spread out. Jessica Krichels taught the class- it was called Improvisational Printmaking. Great fun. The pieces below are from the class. It was so nice to be with other artists creating!
The other news I have is that my work was accepted into a gallery here! Michael Lakoff, the owner is himself an artist. The name of the gallery is The Ricochet Gallery. Albuquerque peeps the is just outside Old Town on 1102 Mountain Rd. He opened the gallery in March and it has done very well-I love the variety of work there. There is a possibility of having a show there next year. And I have 2 pieces in a show right now at The Remarque Print Workshop. The show is New Mexico Printmaking Invitational. It is a wonderful show- so much diversity here in New Mexico.
I have not titled these pieces yet.
Delightful work, and so nice to have an inperson workshop. I am going to TorC the 24th for a workshop with Darlene McElroy from Santa Fe. Looking forward to a hot spring soak and art!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and I am envious- I LOVE Darlene McElroy's work I think it was last year or the year before she made these large wonderful mixed media portraits- I wanted one so bad but out of my price range- and I feel what she was asking was not out of line.
DeleteLove these pieces, Terry; especially the collaged one! Such great news about being accepted into a local gallery. Congratulations! So well deserved!
ReplyDeleteThank you Robert!
DeleteYour work is always so striking. I love the colors and lines and mark making.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteAs always, I love your work.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I think your often use of orange (my fav) relates to your personal warmth.
I so admire you and your work. Take care, Terry & Ron.
Just plain excellent news. Great pieces, Terry! :-)
