Father & Son 2/28:
I
finished my newest watercolor titled "Father & Son". I worked from
a photo I took while we eating breakfast in Sausalito, California. That
was the morning we were boarding our ship for Alaska. I need to decide
in about a week - which show to enter this painting into.

Blossom Loves Snow 2/21:
Blossom
loved running and playing in all that snow. I have paintings I did of
her romping throught the snow five years ago. It looks like she
remembers the fun.

Return to Kansas 2/20:
I
have not posted for a while - because, we went back to Kansas to visit
family. While there, we learned one of the major reasons for moving to
a warmer place - SNOW. We knew it would be colder - but had not planned
on the white stuff.

Great Demo (2/7):
David Drummond did his demo today at the NMWS meeting
- he showed us his approach to painting miniatures. Of special interest
was - the use of the taped edges of his paper as his palette. Over 80
members watched David's demo about painting water on a very small scale. |

Starting On My Taxes Today (2/5):
I'm digging out my records from last year so I can
file my taxes early this year. Right now that's more important than
starting a new painting.
Full Moon:
I took
this photo of the full moon yesterday morning. I used my little Nikon
(Hand Held) to take the photo as I went out to get our morning paper.

We Traded In The Chevy Cruze:
Now
we have a vehicle that will be more comfortable on trips. We tested it
out a couple days back with a drive up to Santa Fe. I have lots of toys
to play with in the new car. Of course it has On-Star to give us
directions - and, it also has a hands free phone as well. Both features
were on my Cruze - but now I also have WiFi built in so I can access
the web from the car. It also has voice commands so I can access
several features simply by speaking directions. Also, via my i-pad - I
can access things like mpg, oil changes, tire pressure, etc. I can even
start the car remotely from my i-pad.

Orange Roses Finished (2/01):
It
took me awhile - but, I finally finished my newest watercolor of
"Orange Roses". I took photos at various stages of the paintings
development. I don't have any plans to enter it in any juried shows.
For the NMWS Spring "Members Only" Exhibition - I'm simply going to
enter my three paintings that were not accepted into WFWS. Right now -
my next objective is to start on my income tax returns so I can file
them quickly this year.
