Saturday at the Plein Air Convention 2016 in Tucson, Arizona was a great day. The wind had quit and the temps were moderate, mid to upper 70’s I think. Beautiful day. Before I get too far I need to mention that Dean Mitchel, watercolor artist, was given a lifetime achievement award by Eric Rhoads last night and then Dean spoke. …
Attended the first day of the #PACE16 convention and it was good. Worth the price of admission if I left tomorrow. I got a little watercolor done out behind the hotel where #PACE16, Plein Air Convention 2016, is being held while I was waiting for a couple of programs I wanted to attend. The wind has picked up today, a …
Here I am in the Wishing Well Adult RV Adult Park in Catalina, Arizona for the next 6 or 7 days. Right next to the Circle K…for convenience I guess. I tried to get into Catalina State Park which would’ve been much more desirable but they are booked solid. They referred me here an said the next closest place is …
Headed to Tucson, Arizona for the Plein Air Convention 2016. Billed as the world’s largest gathering of outdoor painters, the convention has been past held in Monterey, CA. This year it was moved to Tucson. Closer for me. Thanks. Something over 850 painters and nearly 100 faculty and staff will swarm over the area for 5 days painting. Speakers and demonstrations will …
The Plein Air Convention in Tucson, Arizona is coming up next week. I mention this because I’ll be there. This will be the 4th Plein air Convention. The previous 3 were in Monterey, CA. I advertise in the Plein Air Magazine so I thought I should go to the convention to see what it is all about. New development for …
2016 Happy New Year!! Starting a new year today gives us all an opportunity for do-overs or to make plans for the coming year. Perhaps one might want to make this year a better one than last year or merely continue the great ride last year was. That’s probably where I am at. I have a number of great things …
To paint or not to paint. That was the question I was faced with this weekend sitting in a cascade of Aspen leaves falling around me. Have you been out to see the colors yet? WOW! Well, I’ll say they were WOW in certain places. Some places were more like blah. For those of you who live in Western Colorado, where …
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. The colors had just exploded overnight. It was spectacular. This one is on the old Wilson Rd. just south of Moose, if you are familiar with …
Before I get to what I want to tell you about I thought you might enjoy this rendition of “What a Difference a Day Makes”. Pretty impressive for a 9 year old girl. I guess that’s pretty impressive regardless of age. OK, maybe it’s actually what a difference two days makes. It began raining on Tuesday, off and on, so …
There’s just something about Wyoming that I really like. I’ve lived in the Cowboy State a couple of different times so I have some first hand experience here. Back in the mid ’70’s I lived in Jackson’s Hole and two other separate times I lived near Sheridan. Those were back in the days of my ranching career before I hurt …
