From April 22 -June 18 the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos (El Prado) is hosting the Pastel Society of New Mexico’s Enchanted Colors.

Luminosity and Blue Flag Iris, both 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper, are two of only 73 artists’ works accepted to hang in the museum, so it’s an honor to be a part of this show. 124 paintings are presented digitally in the Virtual Online Interactive Exhibition.

Sleepy Sun Bear and Little Monkey, both 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper, framed sizes 27H x 33W”, are showcased in Artist Space online gallery’s Animals Art Competition and exhibition April 20 – May 20, 2023.

Texas Bluebonnets, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. In the Spring it’s worth taking a long drive in the Texas countryside to see the fields of Bluebonnets.
