September 30 in 30 – Goats of Anarchy

Artwork, Goats, September 2018

My daughter finally started pre-school, she’s thrilled to be back with playing and learning with other kids. I’m thrilled she’s happy, and I have my studio time back after the summer break.

Leslie Saeta unofficially announced that the next 30 in 30 Challenge will be this September. I was going to do some more dogs, but I felt I wanted to change it up a bit – so I contacted an amazing animal sanctuary – Goats of Anarchy, and they have graciously given me permission to do paintings based on their animals. I hope to include their stories too.

Goats of Anarchy, “GOA” is an award-winning, vegan sanctuary for special needs baby goats (along with other animal friends that we just have to help). They are a registered charity (501c3) and all tax deductible donations go towards vet fees, food, shelter and prosthetics for the baby goats. 

They are very active on FB and Instagram – I highly recommend following them, and if you can, perhaps make a monthly or one time donation. Please check out there website here:  https://goatsofanarchy.com/

I am donating 30% of all sales from this series to GOA. If you are interested in purchasing an original or print from this series, please contact me directly – danaaldisstudio@gmail.com – I will post additional information on the individual images.

See you in September!

In The Land of Enchantment

El Morro National Monument, New Mexico

In late May 2018 we left the emerald lush greens of the Pacific Northwest and started our journey south. We took a ferry from Coupeville, Whidbey Island, to the pacific coast – hoping to finally see the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, it was a typical foggy day on the Olympic peninsula. We instead headed towards Hood River, for an impromptu visit with my father in law’s Aunt.

From Hood River we headed south east, towards Boise, ID, spending the night in Mountain Home, ID. The next night, Monticello, UT. We had thought it would be easy to find lodging but it turns out it might have been graduation weekend – which complicated things slightly, in addition to having a dog along. It’s getting harder to travel with a pet.

We traveled through some of the most stunning landscapes I have seen in my life. The sky stayed turquoise blue, the landscape dried out and we were welcomed by the beautiful red rockscapes of the high desert. We arrived in Gallup, NM on Sunday, May 20th, and closed on our home the next day.

Unlike our mere year and a half in Western Washington – we are making a definite effort to get out and see the sights. Two weekends ago we visited the Wolf Sanctuary near Ramah, NM. Last weekend we hiked El Morro National Park and Monument. Yesterday my daughter and I went to the Navajo Nation Zoo and Botanical park. I am happy to give my little girl some amazing experiences.

My husband started work right after Memorial Day, in Window Rock, for the Navajo Department of Justice. I spent time getting paperwork together for my daughter’s new pre-k, and trying to find the Arts Community.

We attended an amazing Arts Crawl on the second Saturday in June, and I joined a local arts Coop. Here’s to new beginnings in the high desert, right off of Historic Route 66. This small town is brightly decorated with amazing public murals, and other handpainted art works. Did I mention we live off of highway 491 – which was originally Highway 666? (well, not since 2003)
