Thank you to all that came to my open studio this month.  It was a steady stream of people despite that I am a little separated from the bulk of studios that were open for the Santa Fe Studio Tour this year, 2021.  Since it was the first attempt for me to be on this tour, I really did not know what to expect.  Past experiences of this kind have only been in Pacific Grove on the Monterey Peninsula, CA with a group of other artists.  It was a pleasant surprise here.  Overall a great success!

Now I am gearing up for creating more paintings and hoping to have a more steady business in this field.  Honestly, the most humbling aspect of this is figuring out how to pay quarterly estimated income taxes.  That is so varied that I fall behind.  My goal is to gain a better understanding of how this works here.  While in Pacific Grove, my husband and I had our own business that included my gallery.  Quarterly estimates were based on the whole business, rather than just my art.  It was easier.  Our accountant took care of it.
