||||
| May 28 - Another Entry: I just entered my watercolor "Artist at Work" into the NAEA online exhibition. We spotted this sculpture under construction in Santa Fe and spoke to the artist Tigre Mashaal-Lively. His sculpture fascinated me to paint him constructing his creation. My process was painting with watercolor over a textured surface of gesso-juice. One of the last things I did was to attach some winkled pieces of white tissue paper - then painting over the wrinkled paper. This painting is varnished to be displayed without glass mounted on a hard surface. Later, I found out, sadly, that someone had set fire to his sculpture.  ... |

| May 23 - Eighteen Years: This afternoon I attended the "Turquoise Luncheon" at the Albuquerque Museum. The purpose is to recognize our new docents and to recognize the years of service for others. Fran Berger and I started training as docents at the same time. Today we both got our sixth turquoise for our docent badges. One for every three years. It's hard to believe it's been 18 years. I was also able to give Fran a portrait I did of her grand daughter. The pandemic seems to have delayed everything.  ... |

| May 14 - Worth Reading: The painter Winfred Rembert, who died in 2021, posthumously won in the biography category for his memoir Chasing Me to My Grave: An Artist's Memoir of the Jim Crow South, which was co-authored with Erin I. Kelly. Chasing Me to My Grave, which was published last year, details Rembert's experiences with racism and the U.S. prison system, and explores how he came to his signature technique of painting and carving leather, a medium that he grew to love while he was incarcerated.  ... |
||||
