| February 26 - "Ochai Agbaji" Finished Now: After I posted the finished painting - I saw a lot more to do on this painting - Now it's finished.   ... |
||||
| February 25 - Progress: Here's the progress I made this morning on my watercolor of "Ochai Agbaji".  ... |
||||
| February 24 - Jayhawk Basketball: I'm starting on a portrait of "Ochai Abaji" to celebrate Jayhawk Basketball - Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KUUUUUU.  ... |
||||
| February 23 "Rio Grande": I finished my new watercolor "Rio Grande" yesterday - lots of pebeo drawing gum used to protect the whites, some salt plus a bit of atomizer spray in the corners. It's on Arches 300 lb Rough - when matted it will fit a 28 x 22 inch frame.  ... |
||||
| February 22 - Printmaking: Today I viewed a fantastic exhibition of printmaking at the Albuquerque (where I'm a docent). This piece "Profile in Blue, 1989" is by Ron Adams. It's a color lithograph which was printed by Michael Costello. The exhibition points out the careful collaboration between an artist and their printer. This is a must see exhibition. Among the prints was one by Jim Dine (he's not one of my favorite artists) - but, this one caught my eye. It shows artist's tools on display. A very proper subject - many well worn brushes - I love it.   ... |
||||
| February 21- President's Day: We celebrated Presidents Day watching "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" on Hulu - Honest Abe: he was the 16th president, the Great Emancipator ... and a righteous slayer of the undead spurred to action by his mother's vampiric murder. History and legend are both turned upside-down as Lincoln tracks the creatures of the night. I wonder if the text book writers in Texas have seen this movie ? If we are going to rewrite history - let's at least have some fun at the same time. "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" the movie has it all - Mary Todd Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Stephen Douglas (the debate) even Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad.  ... |
||||
| February 20 - Teacher Pay Increase: The House of Representatives voted unanimously late Monday night to approve Senate Bill 1, which would increase the minimum pay at each level of the state’s three-tiered teacher licensing system by $10,000. The measure is one strategy aimed at addressing a crisis-level teacher shortage across New Mexico. SB 1 now heads to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who put her support behind the legislation early on. She called it the largest educator pay raise in recent years and announced after the House vote she planned to sign the bill into law. That means starting teachers will see their pay rise to $50,000 from $40,000, while middle-tier teachers will see a jump in the base pay to $60,000 from $50,000. Teachers at the highest tier will be paid at least $70,000, a boost from $60,000 now.  ... |

The Jayhawks (19-3, 8-1) led by as many as 34 points late in the game. This was the first time Kansas had hosted a defending national champion since Dec. 15, 2018, when it beat Villanova 74-71 at Allen Fieldhouse.  ... |
||||
| February 5 - NMWS Demo: I big thank you to Wendy Wilkerson for her great demo today for the New Mexico Watercolor Society. Her use of textured rice paper and gouache showed our members a unique approach to painting. As an old teacher, I was personally impressed that she started on her artistic journey due to an award she won in Scholastic Arts early in life.  ... |
||||

||||
| February 3 - Snow Outside: With a beautiful layer of white stuff in the yard - these are the days to stay inside and enjoy a bit of painting. Perhaps it's a good day to make some french toast for breakfast. The morning sun was hitting some of our faux poppies so I took a few photos - perhaps they will become subjects for a new watercolor.    ... |
