| Blossom's New Haircut (9/24): Great day today - my bride got her sewing maching back. Life is always better (for me) when she keeps really busy. Also today, Blossom went to the doggie beauty shop and came home happy. She likes to lay on the patio and watch me cook pork chops on the grill. Of course she expectes to get a bone.   Blossom Wants The Bone ... |

| Beautiful Clouds (9/22): Just before dinner, I shot a few photos of the clouds over our mountain this evening. With a bit of luck we will actually get some rain.  Clouds Over Sandia ... |

| Jean Hyland Demo (9/21): Yesterday, after painting with my Saturday Friends, I drove to Santa Fe. I attended Jeanne Hyland's demo on her "Wet & Workable" method of doing watercolor. She saturates 140 lb paper and keeps it wet for hours. Jean bursts many myths about watercolor—using a unique and un-intimidating approach to painting. She starts with loose color washes, then blocks in large shapes and values with thicker paint. Jean keeps the painting “workable” for hours to lift, sculpt, glaze or layer and achieve a rich, painterly character. Her method can be used for many subjects. It works great for dry climates like Mew Mexico.

| Step by Step (9/13): Here's by newest watercolor - step by step. I'm working from photos I took before we boarded the ship out of San Francisco last September. My bride and I spent a quiet morning in Sausalito just the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Sausalito is a delightful community, right on the water, with an elevation of 13 feet. After we ate breakfast watching the water, we walked around shopping. I photographed this older couple crossing the street in Sausalito.  ... |

| Nine-Eleven (9/11): I very intentionally turned off the news today. I did not want to watch the replay of planes flying into buildings. Instead, I took more photos of my roses and worked on the spreadsheet for our October watercolor show. When the disaster happened, I was teaching in Kansas City, our middle school put it on the TV in our classrooms. The next day I had my students develop a display of words that expressed things that were important in their lives. Our theme was "it is better to light one little candle than to curse the darkness". We put the work up in the display cases in the hallways.    This Mornings Roses ... |

I e-mailed the decisions to all the artists who entered the show. My whitewater rafting watercolor titled "Father's Day" will be in the show.   "Father's Day" This morning, I delivered my ten watercolors to the New Mexico Cancer Center Show.

| California Couple (9/5): This morning, I began on a new watercolor - this time with figures. I'm working from photos I took before we boarded the ship out of San Francisco. We spent a quiet morning in Sausalito just the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Sausalito is a delightful community, right on the water, with an elevation of 13 feet. We ate breakfast and walked around shopping. I photographed this older couple crossing the street in Sausalito.  .... |

Best of luck to everyone who entered.  Fall Exhibit Postcard .... |
