| Pink: This morning I finished my recent watercolor "Touch of Pink" it'a another one that fits a 20 x 16 inch frame. I was told that the background was to dark so I lifted out some shapes echoing the orchids  ... |

| Keeping Busy: My creative bride and I both seem to stay busy - while I paint she is piecing together dogs for a new quilt. She works in her sewing room and I paint in my very messy studio.  ... |
||
| WFWS Results: Results are in for WFWS 2025 (Western Federation of Watercolor Society) in West Texas. I had two entries rejected and one "Pink Flowers" put on a waiting list ? They will notify me if some one is disqualified which would put mine in this years show. I've been accepted into 4 previous WFWS exhibitions. Now that WFWS results are in - I know that I'll exhibit my "Orchids" in the New Mexico Watercolor Society Signature Exhibit at Weems Gallery.   ... |

||

||

||
| NMWS Permanent Collection: Members of the NMWS Permanent Collection Committee, Debbie Misgen, Woody Duncan, Jim Terry, and Debbie’s hubby Steve (whom Debbie Shanghaied for the day), spent most of Saturday, 22 Sep 2024, mounting PC paintings in their final locations on the walls of the new New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority (Housing NM) facility on Jefferson Street NE. We think the paintings look great in that venue—any fine arts gallery would be proud to display the Collection!  |

||
| "Equity, Diversity & Inclusion": Politics are in the air right now - and for some politicians "Equity, Diversity & Inclusion" are thrown about as dirty words. I have not been in a classroom for over 20 years now - I was fortunate to teach in an inner city school where "Equity, Diversity & Inclusion" was not only respected but encouraged. I can't imagine those three words not being in every teachers mind every day. I've attached photos of my middle school students back then creating self portraits. I enjoyed every day of 27 years teaching those wonderful students.  ... |
||
