The month of November included a trip up to Taos for the closing reception of a group show that one of my paintings was in, having a picnic by the Rio Grande, an amazing moonrise, seeing the Northern Lights, and starry nights that inspired the painting that I will ‘lead’ for a Paint and Sip session in December. Weekends and evenings were spent making soaps, candles, bundles, wands, and Star Jars for two holiday markets— an extended one in Gallup, and one on Small Business Saturday in El Morro. We’ve had a tiny bit of snow, but still able to get up the dirt road to the forest for some hikes with the pups. Enjoy the weeks leading up to the solstice! Warmly, ~Andrea
