"Challenge New Mexico Art Festival"

Matt and I spent the weekend in Santa Fe where Matt was displaying his artwork at the "Challenge New Mexico" Art Festival in Santa Fe, NM. It was a really great experience for us and we definately learned a lot.
He got so many compliments on his work that really helped boost his confidence. I am so pleased with all of his hard work...he has had so many long hours in getting everything ready for the show. He has one more and possibly two more shows this summer in Santa Fe. We keep praying that the right people come by to see his work, and he is able to get his name out there for art investors. A little thought comes to mind..."slow and steady wins the race." That is a saying that keeps coming to mind lately in our lives. We keep pushing forward, no matter how hard and whatever obstacles come into our path.

The following art pieces are ones that we had to say goodbye to. Of course they were the two that he finished just in time for the festival and both his and my favorites. They went into good hands though...our new friend Amy Kyle, who creates beautiful works of art herself. We were neighbors in the festival.

The name of this piece is "Yellow Field" and it is my favorite. Matt promised that he would paint me another one only bigger. :)

The name of this piece is "Green Field" and it is Matt's favorite.

They are both very minimalistic and absolutely beautiful.
