detail

Artist Note.

This is a detail from a painting

in the M Phillips Gallery.

I am in the middle of moving my 

gallery/studio and into a new space.

Lots of planning, etc.

And I am also working on a 

couple of paintings

but they are not completed. 

Trying to stay stress free.

Presently I have a retail space

right on Main Street, downtown
Las Cruces.

Great location - except they close 

down Main Street without notice

causing a lot of aggravation.

I am still going to be in a building
on Main Street,

but in the next block.
It is an office space with parking 

right behind it.
Nice and clean but a few things
had to be done.
You can see a partition wall was
removed so the two rooms
became one large room.

Then a neutral grey paint painted
on  all the walls. A guild member
is doing all the painting and he has
done a great job.
Thank YOU, Rich!

Here you see the start of
space planning.
My easel in blue,
and white tape for
shelf placement.
File cabinet footprint.

There is a lovely curved wall
in an area I will have for a table
to each lunches at.
I will also have a another
workstation
 along the wall or me
to do demos etc for the classes

I have until the middle of April
to do everything and many
members of the guild
are offering to help.
It will be FUN!
