It was a pretty soggy, foggy start to the day Friday. I had spent the night in Brownfield, TX at a Best Western after a sleepless previous Thursday night in Albuquerque. I slept well last night. It was worth the Ben Franklin it cost. Much rested this morning as I headed into the…fog…the soup. Locals were calling it rainy but …
Roswell, New Mexico
I left Albuquerque a bit on the late side this AM but the traffic on the Interstate next to the KOA prevented a very sound sleep. Fortunately the wind died down so that wasn’t a problem. About 2:30 I had to answer natures call and when I lay back down it dawned on me that I had earplugs in my …
The Dunton Hot Springs Experience

Red Fish Lake
If you look back a couple of posts you’ll find where I went with my wife and another couple on an absolutely wonderful motorcycle ride up into the Sawtooth Recreational Area in Idaho this summer. As is always the case I’m on the lookout for material that will make a nice painting. Such was the case when we ventured down …
Catching up
It’s hard to know where to start, it’s been so long since I posted anything. I see that I left you good folks in Battlemountain, NV on my way to Petaluma, CA for a screen printing and gilding workshop I attended at Letterhead Sign Supply. In short I will say that it was a great class. Ron and Kristi were …
Arches National Park
This is a plein air watercolor I painted at the campground in Arches National Park in Utah last fall. I just love the red rock features and the complimentary green. This old snag was casting it’s shadow loosely on the red rock behind it one morning and I couldn’t resist the painting. After a round of dutch oven cinammon rolls …
Hummingbird Feeding Frenzy
This is a video of some hummingbirds that swarmed the feeder my sister-in-law Donna hung up outside their camper trailer while we were camping up in the Big Cimarron area of the Colorado mountains last weekend. These little guys seemed to be REALLY hungry. We sat and watched them that evening for an hour or more. Enjoy.
Torrey, UT
Here we are I’m In Torrey, Ut. It was a beautiful ride here and we managed to stay dry. In fact it was rather warm to hot in places. Things change on short notice however. As you can see, we stand to get our 40% chance of rain. We’ve been watching this storm from our campsite. A fantastic lightening show …
On My Way
Headed to the Will James Round Up Ranch Rodeo in Hardin, MT. I used to live up there years ago and still have good friends there. Left the shop in Montrose, CO. about 2pm and got into Rawlins, WY. a little after 8 this evening. Quite warm all the way. 95 in Craig, CO. 85 here in Rawlins. Trying to …
