From Michele:

"Surprised, happy, honored, and thrilled to win first prize in the quick draw last evening in Telluride Colorado!

Thank you so much to the judges from Ah-Haa school for the Arts.

We had 90 minutes to paint some thing, and I chose the Chophouse at the Sheridan.

Congratulations

to Richie Vios who did a fabulous job for a second place award!!

This is the first Plein Air event I have done since Covid, and the first time I’ve been back to Telluride since 2015.

I forgot how beautiful it is here. "

From Rachel:

"Now that's the kind of email I like to get! I entered "Endurance" in @dakotapastels Pastels Q2 contest and won an honorable mention, yay! Thanks @aaronschuerr for selecting my painting. (Also Instagram is cropping the image arg, it's not really a square painting).

If you are in or near Taos today (7/1) come see this painting in person. I'm selling at an artisan market at the Millicent Rogers Museum all weekend, 10-5!"

Los Alamos is in the news!! Free Radical Impressionist booklets and armature transparencies for the first 25 visitors to the gallery this Saturday, July 8!!. Also this weekend: science fairs and festivities around town AND on Sunday night a TV Show titled, To End All War: Oppenheimer and the Atom Bomb. https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/-to-end-all-war-oppenheimer-the-atomic-bomb-official-trailer-186861125527

I am very interested in Fractals and am excited to see how artists present them. And Fusion is the hope and promise of the future: energy from the sun!! (Fission and Bombs worry me but that's another post.)

And did you know that Los Alamos was recently listed as one of the top small cities/villages in the country. It's worth a visit. 

The PAPNM Webmaster, Karen Halbert, is having a solo show:

FUSIONISM AND SOUTHWEST LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS

http://www.lindaheath.com

Linda's fusionist work is perfect for this show. In fact, the gallery has chosen one of her paintings to advertise the show on Facebook. Take this opportunity to mark "going" to the opening reception on Juy 8 from 5-7 pm: Facebook event. 

Linda was the PAPNM Webmaster at the beginning of the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico organization until 2012.  In fact she has the first member id in the group!! Her background is quite technical though she has been a longtime artist in the classical and in the plein air traditions.

Linda's degrees are from New Mexico Tech Univ. and Texas Tech Univ.

From Linda:

"My greatest joy is to reflect the beauty around me...

Whether painting plein air (outside in the moment), emulating the Old Masters in a still life,  or contemplating the future through connecting with deep space,

I find spiritual inspiration through my art.  May you also let this wonderful universe touch your soul today."
