| Keeping New Mexico Blue: Thank's to my friend Linda Ellison for telling me about this event at the home of Fred Harris to raise funds for the Democratic Party of Sandoval County. Two hundred good democrats plus beer and wine. Of course Jim Hightower was the draw - he's the last true populist.    Democrats Know How to Party ... |

| Painting This Morning (6/22): This morning, the NMWS is having a paintout at Ray and Jan's home. Our Saturday paint group does not start up again till August - so I'm joining the monthly NMWS Paintout this month.  Democratic Fund Raiser:
Later in the afternoon, I'm headed to Corrales to hear (Texas Liberal) Jim Hightower speak. The event is being held at the home of Senator Fred Harris. I backed Harris years ago when he was running for the Democratic Parties nomination for president. Looking at these "then and now" photos I can easily tell that living in New Mexico has been good for Fred. |

| Worth Watching (6/21): Take a few minutes to watch this powerpoint - Click the link below or click on the photo to download the powerpoint to your computer - it's worth your time:  ... |

| Passports (6/20): Our passport are in the works now - but, we had to drive 25 miles to Cedar Crest in the East mountains to do it. Two post office's in the Albuquerque area would not even answer the phone - another one would let us apply in a week, another in a month - Cedar Crest said: just walk in, so we drove out there. We chose to not pay the extra $99 each for more rapid service - the $270 to get two passports was stiff enough.  ... |

| Dollar Movies (6/18): The juxtaposition of watching the movie "42" yesterday and hearing Obama speak in Berlin today brought to mind the many positive changes that have occurred over my 70 years on this fragile planet. I hope to be around to see even greater strides over the next 30 years. It's not often that the audience applauds a movie - but they did today for "42" - As usual we waited for it to hit the Dollar Theater - Since today was Tuesday we paid a total of $3.50 for two tickets. Wednesday, it's still $1.00. We loved the movie.  In 1947, Branch Rickey put himself at the forefront of history when he
signed Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking Major League
Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and
Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and other players.
Facing blatant racism from every side, even his own team, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking—ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. ...

| Ted Keller Demo (6/17): Last night's demo at the watercolor society meeting was a prime example of what members gain best from joining the NMWS. If you were not at tonight's meeting - then, you missed an inspiring demo by Ted Keller. He did a portrait of Hemingway. He showed us his series of portraits of dead artists before he started his demo. Makes one want to rush home and paint.  Ted Keller - June 17th ... |

| Family Joins Me In Taos: Thanks for joining me in Taos on Friday night: Left to Right - Frani (My Bride), Jim (Our Son) Judy (Jim's Girl) and Me. Now you realize why I return to see my friends at the Sagebrush Inn every June.  Left to Right - Frani (My Bride), Jim (Our Son) Judy (Jim's Girl) and Me ... |

| Back From Painting In Taos (6/16): I have not posted to my blog in the last ten days because I've been busy painting in Taos, New Mexico. I'm back home now trying to recover from all the fun and fantastic food we had at the Sagebrush Inn. I'm posting a couple of the ten watercolors I did last week in Taos.   These Watercolors Are Both On Full Sheets of Arches Rough ... |

Busy, Busy, Busy (6/5): My Chevy has been packed with art supplies for my week of painting in Taos. Saturday morning I'll throw in my clothes and hit the road. It's less that three hours to get there now - not the 800 mile drive from Kansas City I use to make. Our oldest son and his new girl will fly into Albuquerque on Thursday. My bride is bringing them up to Taos on Friday for dinner and the art show we will all put on. I ran both cars through the car wash and Frani has been cleaning up the house. She even dead headed my roses so the back yard would look nice. <<< My Bride Takes Good Care of My Roses |

 Moon Over Sandia Early Morning, June 6th |
Cadillac Ranch (6/2): On the way back from Dallas, we stopped for a few minutes at Cadillac Ranch, just west of Amarillo, Texas. There was even some sort of field trip to let young children spray paint the Cadillacs. They came in a yellow school bus. Each child was given plastic gloves and a choice of colors of cans of spray paint. Perhaps, I'll get another painting out of the photos I took.   School Field Trip To Cadillac Ranch ... |

| WFWS-38 Dallas, Texas (6/1): The Western Federation of Watercolor Societies 38th annual exhibition, hosted by SWS, was a real success. Toni Seidel road with Frani and me to WFWS in Dallas. On the way back, we spent a day exploring the Stockyards District in Fort Worth. We ate at the famous Risky's BBQ. I had a delicious Brisket Sandwich plus Pecan Pie toped off with Ice Cream. Risky's is now my second best reason to visit Fort Worth. The first being Billy Bob's of course.   Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas ... |
