Grace Pipeline is what I want to contribute to the PaintedArtist Interactive Garden. My hope is to also identify about 12 other artist who want to build their art concepts into a huge art instillation for the world to see. Their job will be to create it; my job will be to find the funding. In my case, I want to create Grace Pipeline because this is how I try to live my life. For me it’s been an exceptionally happy way to live. It’s called grace – I do my best daily to rely on it daily . I fail frequently, but God is there to remind me to get up and keep moving.

It takes practice to learn how to “Ride The Grace Pipeline”, which is the title of my art contribution to the garden. Mostly, I pray, which is to rebound, give thanksgiving, pray for others then for myself. This equals happy if you know God’s plan, which I study about daily.

I can not personally afford to produce this project. To rent scaffolding is expense, and I will need tons of exterior acrylic paint. I’ll be looking for a businesses to sponsor me. For that business, I will put a sign up with your business name in it and a hashtag painted right into the art. If you’re interested let me know. This will be a ‘selfie’ opportunity and could be a inexpensive way to get a good bang for your advertising bucks.

The Grace Pipeline will be the third proposed art installation for the Interactive Garden.

Grace Pipeline is actually the third installation proposed for the Interactive Garden. The first installation was in the Peace Tree, which is an ongoing art installation for the entire community to participate. Come by and paint wooden butterflies in honor or in memory of a loved one. The more butterflies on the tree, the more spectacular this art institution will be. So please come paint one. $1 donations or more recommended to cover cost of wooden butterfly, varnish, glue and paint. Painting times are Thursday to Sunday 2-8 pm.

Joe Eby, Straight Line Tile, is sponsoring the tile patio that will be built around the Peace Tree.

The Art Cave.. a fun place to create.

The second art installation is the “River Run’s Through It”. This title is a work in progress. The river will take at least until next autumn to complete. I want to thank the forestry department for giving us (and anyone) a good deal on mineral rights, so that we can collect rocks for this project, and our many pathways in the interactive Garden. Labor so far has be supplied mostly by Jay Thomas, a local author, and myself. Special thanks to Rayna Bo, Jack Dykes and Angelina Marie Jones, summer interns of the PaintedArtist. Russ Warwick, owner of Black Sheep Lawn Care will be suppling labor to build a grass chair for people to sit in. We could use a business sponsor for local art Carla Marrow who will be designing a giant art instillation to contact the butterfly tree in the Peace Garden over to the River and Grace Pipeline Art installation. We are taking tiny amounts of money that would do the trick.

PaintedArtist is always looking for serious students of art to come experience art as an apprentice. We are developing products for online and walk-in sells called “Hello from Ruidoso”. These products will match people’s experience, who tour the interactive garden. Approved interns will also be given the opportunity to create an independent body of work for retail sales out of the Art Cave. Apply today! Only serious students of art (any age) should apply. Earn money from sales of art and products.

Sample of products interns will be developing:

Above: Since deers just walk right up to you and say, “hello”, we thought creating cards with them would be fun!

Below: Products will match all art installations in the Interactive Garden as these match the Butterfly Tree In the Peace Garden.
