 Two Orange Roses - Step by Step ... |
||||||
| Rain, Rain and More Rain (10/22): A third day of rain and more on the way - my roses will love it. No one living in a desert, like we do in the southwest, will ever complain about rain.   Rain Clouds Over Our Mountains ... |
||||||
| I Can Brag Now (10/21): My watercolor “Dorise” was selected by juror Sterling Edwards for the Kansas Watercolor Society National Exhibition. The exhibit runs from Nov 20th, 2015 to Jan 3rd, 2016 at the Wichita Center for the Arts. That's two years in a row making it into the KWS exhibit. My painting is boxed and ready to ship to Wichita - this is the 6th painting to go out in this airfloat box - they are the only way to ship art.   “Dorise” ... |

| Earnie Pyle (10/19): Today's training at the Albuquerque museum was a great way to learn history - Baldwin Burr did a fantastic portrayal of Earnie Pyle - this is the best way to learn about our past. Pyle (August 3, 1900 – April 18, 1945) was a Pulitzer Prize–winning American journalist. As a roving correspondent for the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain, he earned wide acclaim for his accounts of ordinary people in rural America, and later, of ordinary American soldiers during World War II. His syndicated column ran in more than 300 newspapers nationwide. From 1935 through 1941 he traveled throughout the United States, writing about rural towns and their inhabitants. After the U.S. entered World War II he lent the same distinctive, folksy style to his war-time reports, first from the home front, and later from the European and Pacific theatres. He was killed by enemy fire on Iejima during the Battle of Okinawa. Earnie was a resident of Albuquerque. After his passing his home was turned into a public library. It's training session like these that make being a docent worthwhile.  Baldwin Burr as Earnie Pyle ... |

| Two Orange Roses (10/17): This morning, I started on a new watercolor of two orange roses. Below is my drawing and the progress I've made so far.  Two Orange Roses ... |

| Gift For Maggie & Nate (10/14): While in Kansas City, I stopped by to give Maggie and Nate a watercolor painting I did of Nate holding their daughter - the couple were students of mine at Rosedale MS - this beautiful pair created a fantastic daughter Viviana - not all creativity is done on paper. The photo was taken by Maggie's mom - also a student of mine at Rosedale.  Watercolor for Maggie and Nate ... |
||||||
| Back From Kansas (10/13): My bride and I just returned from Kansas - we got to visit with both of our sons and their families. I also visited with my boyhood friend Ralph in Pittsburg when I was there to do two workshops for Kansas art teachers. We loaded a trailer with some furniture and drove the 16 hours straight back to Albuquerque. Now, I need to find some strong young men to unload the furniture for us. We are getting too old for any heavy lifting.   Tearing Mountains Workshop 3-D Painting Workshop ... |

| Balloons (10/4): I'm waiting for the balloons this Sunday morning. It's a calm, cool morning - but, with heavy cloud cover. So, even if the do lift off there is no sun so the photography will be a dissapointing. Here are a few pics I took yesterday on site at the Balloon Fiesta.    First Day - Balloon Fiesta 2015 ... |
||||||
| Fall Show Opening Reception (10/3): The NMWS Fall Exhibition, juried by Linda Doll, had a very successful opening reception this afternoon. I even received a ribbon for my watercolor "Father & Son". Getting it accepted into this show reinforces the notion not to give up if you really believe in a particular painting. Earlier this year this same painting had been rejected when I entered it in three other juried shows.   ... |
||||||
| Art & Balloons (10/2): Our juror Linda Doll's workshop ends today. Last night was the NMWS Signature Potluck dinner with our juror. Tomorrow Balloon Fiesta begins and the NMWS Fall show has it's grand opening. This morning a few balloons took a test run. Tomorrow I get up real early to head to the be among the balloons as they lift off.   ... |
||||||
| Blood Moon - Last Month (10/01): From our back yard, last Sunday night, I got some great shots of the eclipse. It was an opportunity to try out my new camera.   Moon Rising Over Our Mountain ... |
