And they are off! The start of the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog race was today. You can go here to the official site for pictures and updates. I find this of interest because I used to run sled dogs here in Western Colorado and have been to the Yukon Quest, not as a musher but as a volunteer out …
If it wasn’t already hard enough to be an artist it has now become illegal to paint outdoors, at least in St. Augustine, FL where artists are breaking the law so reports fellow artist and blogger James Gurney in his blog GurneyJourney. You can see it here at www.gurneyjourney.blogspot.com. The problem apparently stems from the fact that when an artist …
As you know, I get out and about a bit from time to time traveling hither and yon in search of subjects to paint and photograph. This summer I got up into the North Coast of British Columbia, across the province into Alberta and back home, traveling through Yellowstone N.P.. I just got back from a weekend over in Utah …
The weather cleared and all was wonderful. We had to wait but finally it happened although it was Friday, our last day in the area. I did manage to get a couple of watercolors done though.

I thought things were awefully quiet out there in cyberland. Usually when i make a post I get some comments or feedback of some kind. It …
It’s come to my attention that you good folks haven’t been getting my posts. we are addressing the issue so please stand by…this is just a test.
If you have followed me for very long, you know I paint a lot. As a consequence, I have a lot of paintings in inventory. From time to time I offer some of my art on ebay. This overload of smaller watercolor and oil paintings, some are plein air sketches and others are just studio ideas I’ve worekd up. I will be posting …
I’ve spent the last to weeks or so making over the Simpson Gallery. Originally the front of the building was a gallery space with the framing samples and design counter in the middle of the building and the production area for framing in the back. In a weak moment I moved the design counters for framing up front along with …
