| Good Progress This Morning (10/24): I painted with my Friday friends this morning at the Unitarian Church. I made quite a bit of progress on my newest rose painting. I also got a start on my attempt to paint Nate holding his daughter. I'll continue on both of these two paintings tomorrow at the La Mesa Church.   ... |

| Starting Two New Watercolors (10/23): I'm strarting two new watercolors - on of the center of a beautiful rose, the other of Nate holding his daughter. I need three entries worthly of entering into Western Fed. The rose is from my back yard. Nate was one of my students in Kansas City. He and Maggie are always posting photos of their beautiful baby girl.   Beautiful Rose Center Fathers's Love ... |

| Trip to Taos (10/16): I drove to Taos for the 20th annual Southwest Art History Conference at the Mable Dodge Conference Center. One of the presentations at SWAHC in Taos was about how Maynard Dixon’s paintings changed during the Great Depression. Largely self-taught, Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) was an American muralist, illustrator and landscape painter best known for his colorful depictions of desert scenes, Native Americans, early American pioneer settlers and cowboys. Dixon's marriage to noted photographer Dorothea Lange from 1920 to 1935 inspired him to give his work a more modernist tone. In these years, his art found power and drama not yet seen in his earlier pieces.  ... |

| Today's Balloons (10/9): Today was Special Shapes day for the Balloon Fiests - but, the Special Shapes didn't make it all the way to our house. But, while I was shooting photos of balloons this morning I noticed the water drops on my roses from last nights rain. I also used a pic I took of the moon to add a balloon, thanks to photoshop.   I Love My Little Nikon Cool Pix 510 ... |

| Neighborhood Landing (10/8): This morning a balloon landed in the street less than a block from our house. I shot several photos and several small videos. This is the first time I've used i-movie to stitch several movies together. Click on the photo below to open a four minute movie of the landing.

| Balloons In Our Neighborhood (10/6): I simply slip on my robe and go out into the back yard to shoot photos and short movies early in the mornings.   Click on the photos above to watch short movies of balloons landing behind our house ... |
||||||
| Balloon Fiesta (10/05): I got up at 4:15 this morning to go see the balloons at the park. High winds at higher altitudes kept the balloons grounded. But, they inflated them for the thousands who showed. Today turned into a good day anyway - When I got back from the Balloon Park, Frani cooked a great breakfast, I planted 36 new Purple Ice plants to go with the 40 I had planted three weeks earlier, I checked out my roses and even had a visit from our neighborhood Roadrunner - all before 10:30 - then we headed for the Arts and Crafts Show. You can get a lot done when you get up early.    This Cow Did Not Fly - Neither Does Our Roadrunner ... |

| New Mexico Watercolor (10/2): At Monday's watercolor society meeting, Lian Quan Zhen did a fantastic demo for members of the NMWS - in fact he did three demos - first he showed how he autographs his books, then he did a traditional Chinese painting os sunflowers, and then created a more standard watercolor on arches paper of grapes on the vine - his workshop continues all this week. His lucky students are in for a real treat.   Lian Quan Zhen ... |

| Welcome To Fall Weather (10/1): We have not had the AC (Refrigerated Air) on for over three weeks now, because it's been warm, but tolerable. Now we are getting really decent and mild fall temps. Cool weather means that my roses are happy and balloons are in the air. They floated past our house this morning.   Balloons and Roses ... |
