​So excited about the possibilities and adventures that await us all. The new year started by me working on a new series of paintings. They are Atmospheric Abstracts,  I also started repairs to my property. Both are ongoing projects and I am grateful for the love and support I have received on both fronts.

hough this month has been about my work, I certainly don’t want to forget those less fortunate. Particularly, the nonprofits I support. "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life. by what we give." Winston Churchill

​
What I have to give is myself through my work. With this in mind, in March, I will be donating a painting to Holiday 4 Heroes for their March Raffle. All the proceeds will be given to Holidays 4 Heroes Holiday 4 heroes website, Since I can’t decide on which of my original painting to donate, I am asking for help. Would you please vote for your favorite below by hitting the vote button?
The painting with the most votes will be my donation to the Holiday 4 Heroes March Raffle. Of course, the other two will be available on my website after the vote. I will let you know which painting won and how to purchase raffle tickets for the March Raffle.

Let us all spread good energy this year, with a kind word and an open heart.
Remember, "every day is a great day to paint".
​Until next time. Marie

 Here, In Sante Fe, taking a class to further enrich my experiences and bring back to my studio in Southwest Florida.  The place I am staying is surrounded by a mountain vista and unmatched with the winds blowing a warm dry breeze to cool the hot Santa Fe sun.  Here are some photographs, I have taken, from museums and galleries and the amazing Sante Fe landscape. These paints are from many great inspirational artists.   Enjoy!

Saturday was an interesting day.  Delivered a Custom 9 foot by 4 foot painting of the Edison Ford Estates.

All was well except for the fact that my clients live on the 7th floor of a condo building and the painting was to large to fit in the elevator.

Please visit my Facebook Page mariedyerstudions to watch the crazy delivery.  Make sure the "Speaker Button" is turned on.
