| Pink Roses (1/24): I started on a new watercolor this morning. My reference is a photo I took at Butchart Gardens in Victoria, (British Columbia) in Canada. I'm starting out very loose on a sheet of handmade paper. I coated it with gesso first. I've removed the liquid mask that I applied to protect the whites. Next, I'll start blending the edges.   .... |

| Art at the Center (1/23): I'm entering four watercolors into the "Juried Exhibition" called Art at the Center in Overland Park, Kansas. I've had good luck getting into that show before. The exhibit runs from April 4th until June 8th at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center.  ... |

| Wet-n-Wet Begonia Started (1/20): This morning, I'm going to try painting this Begonia image again. This time I'm trying a wet-n-wet method Jeanne Hyland taught our Saturday Painters Group.. I'll soak the paper well and place it on a soaked Shamwow cloth on top of a sheet of plexi glass. It should stay damp for hours as I paint. The Begonia subject demands the soft effects this approach should produce. My photo was taken, back in December, while we were in Golden Gate park in San Francisco.  Wet-n-Wet Begonia  ... |

Scholastic Art Awards (1/18): Scholastic Art Awards "At Large Judging" was today - I got to judge in several categories: Jewelry, Architecture, Mixed Media, 7&8 Grade and Sculpture catagories. Lots of old friends were there to help and I got to meet new several people as well. I'm so glad to see the New Mexico Art Education Association step up and make this all happen. It's going to grow and get bigger each year. ...

 "Couple Shadows" |
Couple Shadows - San Francisco (1/17): This morning, I finished my second watercolor of a couple walking past Union Square in San Francisco. I shot the photos I used a reference from the tenth floor of our hotel. It was early morning so there were long shadows cast by the figures far below.  ... |

General Session - 3:00 - 3:50 PM
Deborah Butterfield's
sculptural forms are based on her unique subject, horses. Constructed
in wood and cast in bronze, the freestanding sculptures are shown in
two scales: life-size works and smaller bronzes. With extraordinary
focus and conviction, Butterfield works independently of the tides of
trends and art movements.  ... |

| Charreria (1/06): Today, docents at the Albuquerque museum got an introduction to our newest exhibition: Arte en la Charrerķa: "The Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture" Dec. 21, 2013 – March 30, 2014 Comprising more than 150 examples of superlative artisan craftsmanship and design distinctive to the charro, Charrerķa features leather work, costumes, textiles, silver, and iron work that illustrate the life of these revered horsemen. History is an intrinsic part of charrerķa artifacts and culture, as modern day artisans continue to employ the techniques passed down by their ancestors through the centuries. It is slow, patient work, without the rush of mass production, where the artisan takes pleasure in making each object exceptional and handcrafted with the bearer in mind.  Arte en la Charrerķa ... |

| Rose Parade (1/01): Happy New Year: My beautiful bride and I took in the Tournament of Roses Parade in person. Mark that one off our "Bucket List". It was worth seeing "ONCE" but now that we have had the experience - I suggest that it be watched on TV. Way too many people everywhere. We had to wait in line for 2 1/2 hours to view the decoration of the floats - not what I expected at all.  ... |
||||||
| Seeing Floats Decorated the Day Before: After a very, very long wait in line, we finally got to see some floats being decorated inside a large building. People were very patient and polite but I should have watched it on HDTV. Before we got in, they were moving several of the floats out onto the street to finish them in the sunlight.   ... |
