This will be my first year joining the Santa Fe Studio Tours, October 8, 9, 10 and 16, 17.  In between painting, I am busy putting backings onto my larger works and rearranging my studio so that my oils are more prominent.  Watercolors and acrylics have come down off the walls.  I have to decide if I should set up access to them in another way. 

Though it may seem a bit early for setting up the presentation of my work, the time will go by so quickly with the easing of COVID restrictions that we have endured during the past eighteen months or so.  Our social life has been quickly expanded trying to catch up with our friends.  Gatherings are mostly outside still.  Those that are inside have a limited number of people attending.

We are crossing our fingers that a surge in COVID cases in the fall does not cause undo stress on our abilities to show our work within our studios, but we will accommodate the needs accordingly.  It's too early to know.

Rearranging my studio is a wonderful way to go through my present inventory and clean out unnecessary items.  Otherwise, I would devote my time to creating paintings.  Hope you will be able to visit during that time.  If not in person, then virtually.
