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 …
I was going through some things and came across this pile of little gem watercolors. I don’t know if I had been saving them for something or what but apparently I had just completely forgot about them. These are some favorites. Maybe that’s why they were buried under some other things. They have now seen the light of day once …
“Lookin’ Out My Back Door” is a song written by John Foggerty of the Creedence Clearwater Revival and released in 1970. You have to be of a certain age and persuasion to know this song. According to Wikipedia, it is a tribute to the Bakersfield sound, which was originated by Buck Owens, but…that has nothing to do with this weeks’ …
Opps! My error. For some reason, as in technical difficulties, the additional two paintings I mentioned in the previous post didn’t show up. If you are interested, please go back and see what got left out. Sorry for the trouble.
If the truth be known, my real love is watercolor. Don’t get me wrong, painting with oils is very satisfying and there are many really great oil painters both past and current.

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 …

The Plein Air Artists of Colorado, of which I am a signature member, held it’s 19th members show in Boulder, Colorado at the Mary Williams Fine Art Gallery. The artist’s reception and opening of the show to the public was Thursday evening. Kathy and I drove over to attend. I’ve been a member of the Plein Air Artists of Colorado …
I’ve been through Jasper and Banff National Parks before and have never encountered the crowds that are here now. This is crazy.I rolled into Jasper in good time yesterday, about 3 in the afternoon. Usually when you get into a town that early, it’s not a problem getting room. I looked for almost an hour and finally resigned myself to …
Today’s ride, although through some really scenic country and punctuated from time to time with rain, had no special stops, so I thought I’d take this time we have together and do some filling in the gaps of the trip so far. I left Houston this morning in the rain. You may recall that I was hanging out at the motel for …
