April Update

My transition to my new website hosted by FineArtStudioOnline (FASO) is now complete and I have been amazed at the wonderful support they have offered in helping with this transfer. This process was started two months ago so I am grateful it is now complete. All is still available through my www.neelygomez.com website though I will now be adding and revamping my website, my email address of joanne@neelygomez.com is also now working properly.

The past month (really just three weeks) has been full of travel, family and helping transition my mom from life in her own home in Oklahoma to living with family in California. It has been one of the busiest times I've experienced to date though I am so grateful for the help of so many wonderfully supportive people both family and friends and to my Creator for blessing me with my mom and every resource and gift I've been given.

During our travels the past three weeks we were amazed at the beautiful spring bloom while driving from Arizona through the desert of Southern California. Here are some of the pictures taken of the spring bloom, what a gorgeous and welcome sight and the blessings from very wet and welcomed winter with overdue rains after a prolonged drought.

Spring has arrived in New Mexico also and with it the arrival of hummingbirds to our backyard feeders. I am looking forward to some wonderful new paintings to come after some much needed rest and resettling.
