Although I’ve already seen those sketches, I took the class, it was still refreshing. That 23 minutes went by super fast though. Dang….another two weeks until the next one….I feel like my life goes by in two weeks increments in between your videos. I know these are tons of work for you and there’s no way to show my gratitude other than to keep taking classes etc…..but…..I miss those 40 minute videos! Thank you so much for everything you do and share with us!

Every time you say, "I'll see you back here in 2 weeks", I silently yell, "Noooooo!' How can I wait 2 whole weeks?? I bought 2 of your classes and love them both. If it's stressful to make these videos, you can always do less curated videos. Just set up in a field or by a lake or in your studio, start slapping paint on a canvas and chatting a bit as you go, and most of us would be blissfully happy. I cannot imagine how you juggle work as a full time artist, manage health issues with such a cheerful heart, and edit these gorgeous videos. Thank you, thank you!!

The New Mexico landscape is just magical. I went there in 2011. It's very different to the Australian desert; everything from the colours to the geological structures and the plant life, which is so much more abundant. I spent a week at Los Alamos and 2 weeks in Santa Fe, while my poor husband worked (sucks to be him! 🤣). The Folk Art Museum is beyond amazing. The breadth and quality of the collection blew my mind. For a long time lover of Folk Art and coming from Tasmania, which has a gorgeous wilderness, but not a lot in the way of museums, it was such a treasure. I'm just bowled over by how prolific you are. I think your work ethic and work flow are the envy of artists all over the world. I just loved this video.

Can't believe you were in Santa Fe. Wish I could have run into you. So much fun to see your sketches of areas I know well. Those pyramid-like mounds at the rest area (looks like the top of La Bajada) are cinder cones formed from volcanic activity many moons ago... and it is "Cross of the Martyrs" in the old Fort Marcy area... The rain that doesn't hit the ground (evaporates), connected to those clouds is called "Virga"... St Francis Cathedral... I've clearly got some videos to catch up on. If you get to visit again Abiqui & Chama are worth the extra time, too. (My favroite part of NM)

I love all of these paintings! The cloud that looked like a paw that the rain was pouring out of was most likely a Cumulonimbus cloud. They usually produce Thunderstorms. The clouds that are hung up by the mountains are sometimes Lenticular Clouds. They look like a contact lens or a UFO. I am a weather observer. I love your paintings of the clouds. I lived in Colorado for most of my life. The Western skies just have that beautiful blue that makes the sky look very large. I'm glad you guys had a great time in New Mexico.

I have never liked or understood abstract art but I stumbled on to you flower painting from fresh flowers and it helped me to see how abstract art it done. I went to your list and there are several I want to watch as I really enjoyed your trip sketch book. We were there in February and many of the things in your book we had been to and seen also. The black birds are Crows and the really large ones are Ravens. They squawk all the time and are very noisy birds. I LOVE ❤️ YOUR VIDEOS and will be watching more. Thanks for the education of abstract art.

As always Sandi you are so inspiring! I went to Arizona in the spring and the views you captured reminded me so much of that trip. The expansive views, especially those crazy rain storms in the desert, made me want to stop right there and paint. One of the problems I had though was we were with other people and I felt bad if I stopped to draw and somewhat shy when they saw what I was painting-not exactly gallery type art! I took lots of photos though and now am going to go back and paint/sketch from those beautiful memories! I know these videos are so much work and I want to express my gratitude for all that you share with us and the time it takes to create such amazing content. 😊
