Docent Team 9/26:
             Our docent team toured a delightful group of 5th grades through the Albuquerque Museum this morning. Then we went to the Church Cafe for lunch - one of my favorite places to eat.

Class Reunion 9/22:
             My Bride and I both graduated from Wyandotte High School in 1962. We went back to Kansas City for our 55th class reunion.

Morning To Paint 9/16:
             Look what landed behind our house this morning before I left for painting. This morning, I finished my portrait of "Daryl" this morning and took both paintings to critique - I was advised to enter both in juried shows - perhaps in next springs exhibits.

Native Art Always Changes 9/14:
             Pat Pruitt (Laguna Pueblo), 2017 Best of Show winner at Santa Fe Indian Market, with his winning piece. "Sentinel v1.0" was entered into the sculpture classification; it is made of zirconium and titanium. Pat is moving beyond tradition in his work while holding on to his native culture. But, that's the way Native-American art has always done - adaption of new materials and moving forward with change. Currently the Albuquerque Museum docents are raising funds to by a necklace created by Pat Pruitt (photo shown).

Trip To Santa Fe 9/13:
             Karin Cook organized a delightful outing to Santa Fe. This morning ten artist friends took the RailRunner up to our state capitol. We toured the Gerald Petters Gallery, then took in a leisurely lunch at the Shed before going to the New Mexico Museum of Art. Everyone was anxious to view the drawing exhibit titled "Lines of Thought" from the British Museum. Traveling by train each way gave us time to get to know each other better. Thank you Karin for arranging this great trip.

Obama on ending DACA 9/5:

             "To target these young people is wrong – because they have done nothing wrong. It is self-defeating – because they want to start new businesses, staff our labs, serve in our military, and otherwise contribute to the country we love. And it is cruel. What if our kid's science teacher, or our friendly neighbor turns out to be a Dreamer? Where are we supposed to send her? To a country she doesn't know or remember, with a language she may not even speak?"
           I admire our last president so much that I have a watercolor portrait of him on our living room wall. I'm quite sure many of my students, over the years, were brought across the border by their parents. We want each of them treated like we would want our own children treated.

Friends 9/3:

             Last Friday, I went to Jeff Warren Fine Art in Old Town and ran into three watercolor friends - Rex Barron, Joy and Michael Hill - Rex's art is on the wall behind them.






Kansas Entries 9/2:
             I just submitted my entries for the Kansas Watercolor Society National Exhibition in Wichita, KS.



...




Sneak Peak 9/1:
              I just found out that I had two paintings accepted into the NMWS Fall "National" Exhibition.
