Happy Holidays 2022

Dear Friends, I hope your holidays are jolly and filled with friends and family. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa! A whole year went by without a blog. I am very grateful that I got to travel to Europe and California to visit friends and family. At home, I worked on the family book as well as on improving my health and learning about how to best feed our cats and dog. I did find some time to do commissions and paint a little for myself. I was asked for a holiday card and I enjoyed creating one. The Dream is Peace, 6x8", watercolor

Here are a two of my commissions: Sugar, 5x7", watercolor

Zima, 8x10", watercolor

Laura Lopez, Linda Simone (@teabagartsa) and I have an exhibit at Kapej coffeeshop (@kapej.satx) again this year. The art will be up from December 1st till the end of January 2023. Kapej is located at 415, Camden Street in San Antonio, TX. The reception is Saturday December 17th from 2-4pm. The art featured in this blog (without the commissioned pieces) will be for sale exclusively at Kapej during the show. Stop by if you feel like it! We will be glad to see you! During my two weeks in San Francisco, I painted these pieces. Carmel Mission Basilica, 9x12", watercolor

Mission San Francisco de Assis (also known as Mission Dolores), 6x8", watercolor

Montezuma, 6x8", watercolor

Thank you for your interest in my art adventures.

December 2019

Dear friends, so much has happened and it has been a long time since my last blog.

First of all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all of you!

2019 has been a year of growth and reconnecting. It has been a good experience to see how people I used to be close to years ago have been brought back into my life.

These past 3 months, I have been helping a new, small gallery and cafe in San Antonio,TX called Kapej at 415 Camden Street. It was born from the dreams of its owners. Artist, Laura Lopez, always wanted a gallery and Rudy Lopez a cafe - something like the one at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. Since its opening, Kapej has had several successful art shows and more and more people are returning for its great food. It has been an exciting adventure changing the art, working with the beautiful but small space. If you haven't yet had Rudy's delicious food, come try some. Monday-Thursday from 8am -6pm. You can park in the back if there is space. If you want to know about our art events check out Kapej on Facebook. @coffegalleryatcamden

Superheroes, my watercolor commission, has been framed and delivered. It was a challenge I am grateful for.

It is with gratitude I remember all the customers I met this year buying cat and other cards, mini originals, prints, mugs, bags and larger originals. Thank you!

 One of them is Kristin who loved my piece at Say Si. Say Si is an organization in San Antonio, TX which in their own words "ignites the creative power of young people as forces of positive change". They do a wonderful job of supporting and teaching high school students. www.saysi.org
Kristin, dressed like in the 1920s, bought my ALAMOndriaan Cat in the Small Works, Big Change fundraiser this December!
