| March 30 - Cancellations & Entries: Some exhibits cancelled or re-scheduled later and some just turning into on-line exhibitions - lots of changes. With the NMWS Spring Show cancelled and hopefully the Cover-19 restrictions will ease by October - I decided to enter the San Diego WC International.  ... |

| March 26 - Friends Are Back Safe: Great news - our friends (Robin, Tom, Bruce & Lynne) from a 2018 cruise are back safe and sound, yesterday, from their 77 day cruise around South America. Lynne promised to send me pics of penguins from Antarctic and the cruise down the Amazon river.  ... |

| March 25 - A Wise Decision: The Louisiana Watercolor Society has made a reasonable decision to have their International exhibit take place online only. All paintings will be included in the award selection process as well. Prizes will be announced early in May. Work has begun on producing a digital version of the 50th International Exhibition, which will be posted online for everyone to enjoy and share. My painting has been boxed and ready to ship - this decision will save me the cost of shipping both ways. We had already made our decision to not travel to New Orleans for the opening. The LWS is also refunding my handling charge that I paid earlier.  ... |

| March 23 - Things Do Change: Things seem to change - especially just when I get my watercolors accepted into several national shows. But, that's life - we all must adjust. My "Boy with Puppy" hangs in Atlanta at the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art. But I don't know if anyone has seen it. Their website says that the jurors workshop has been cancelled and that awards have been cancelled. The show ends in three days so they will ship my painting back soon. The same thing goes for the national show in Kansas City, my best watercolor is there now - "Clarinet-NOLA" - they have postponed the exhibit till May and perhaps cancel in later if restrictions are not lifted. I'm OK with being home with my bride for several months. I we survived 50 days together on a cruise - I think we can manage together at home.   ... |

| March 17 - Bandelair & Fresh Air: Yesterday - We decided to stay away from crowds and breath some fresh air - So we drove to Bandelier National Park for a great day trip.    ...    ... |

| March 15 - Lots of Changes: So much has changed in only one week - But, I did go painting with friends today just to maintain some bit of normality in my life. My Jayhawks should have gone all the way but, basketball is over. I should have taken two watercolors to MasterWorks today - but, it's been postponed till July. We love going to Isotopes ballgames but they have been postponed as well. Even the Albuquerque Museum (where I'm a docent) has stopped tours and training. We love the Super hugh "Gathering of Nations" and that has been canceled. We were suppose to fly to Minneapolis for the annual art teacher conference - the materials for my "Tearing Mountains" watercolor workshop are still packed and sitting here. My bride loves the Arts & Crafts fair that was suppose to be this weekend - well, that change has saved me money since she can't buy anything. She took a couple of her baby quilts to the "Blue Portal" to sell - it is now closed as well. I could go on and on but your life has been disrupted too - I'm sure you could make an even longer list of changes in your life. I've even started ending my e-mails with "Here Is A Virtual Hug From Woody" just so I don't catch or spread anything but LOVE. That's what we all need to be spreading everyday.  ... |

| March 11 - My Mistake - Corrected: My little watercolor of "Boy With Puppy" is now hanging in the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art 4484 Peachtree Rd NE Atlanta, GA. There was a mistake "I made" in the entry - But, a kind person at the Georgia Watercolor Society worked it out for me. Now, I even better understand how Southern Hospitality works. Thank You - "Kie". ... |

| March 9 - Another Entry: After seeing a friends entries it reminded me to enter the Illinois Watercolor Society - 36th National Exhibition. The deadline being today. I was careful to not enter any full sheet paintings. I don't want to buy anymore hugh boxes for shipping. I already have boxes that fit my favorite sized frames 28 x 22.  ... |
||||||||||
| March 8 - Painting For Kansas: I'm ready to ship my painting off to Kansas. It's a new box - that's why it only has one photo on the box. The opening of the "Art at the Center National Juried Exhibition" is on Friday April 3rd. It's from 5 to 7 pm at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center 11902 Lowell Avenue in Overland Park.  ... |
||||||||||
| March 7 - Dave Cook's Demo: Dave Cook did a great job with his demo at the Watercolor Society's March meeting.  ... |
||||||||||
| March 5 - Blossom Got Her Haircut: It's difficult to believe that this is the same dog that posed for so many famous paintings.   ... |
||||||||||
| March 4 - For Signature Room: I chose these two watercolors to display in the Signature Room at the NMWS Spring Exhibition. The paintings are not for sale. It is just an opportunity for signature members to select the work they would like to display. As always, we plan a potluck dinner in this room for signature members. We always invite our juror to join us at the dinner.  ... |
