Wow...already two weeks into January and this is my first blog post of the year! Things have been busy in the studio, and I would like to thank you all for making 2014 another amazing year for Monique Straub Studio/Gallery! I so enjoyed corresponding with everyone, and creating special "one-of-a-kind" paintings for so many of you that enjoy my art.

In addition to my participation in a few new shows in 2014, one of the highlights of the year was my move to a larger "working" studio in Little Italy. The expansion allowed me to offer larger oil paintings and work on large scale commission pieces, which have been very well received. The down side to the new studio is public access is not as easy. To solve that problem, I have work on display at Spanish Village Art Center, Studio 34A (Balboa Park), that can be viewed 7 days a week from 11am to 4pm, and all available work is also shown on my website.

With my first show of 2015 coming up at Mission Federal ArtWalk in Little Italy, on April 25th, it promises to be another fun filled year in the studio.

Thank you all again for your enthusiastic support of my work, without you  I could not be doing the work I love!
