All good things must come to an end. I left Bakersfield this AM and got as far as Beaver, UT. Good progress considering the time I left and a good place to call it quits for the night. Windy, snow, getting dark with conditions deteriorating rapidly. Got a room and am comfortably writing this with assistance from an adult beverage. …

Hollywood California
Visited son Jim in Hollywood. He’s got a great office in a great old classic building right across from the famous Egyptian theater. This photo is looking down the hall. Another photo of where we had lunch at Musso and Frank’s in Hollywood. You should look it up. Pure classic. Lastly a link to a video I took out on …

On the Road

First Friday Art Walk
Had a successful First Friday Art Walk the other night selling a couple of paintings. It was nice to see the turnout. A little wine and cheese made for a nice evening. Always good to chat it up with the folks. Been busy with gilding frames in 23 kt gold. Struggling a bit with some gesso and clay problems still. …
It’s Simply a Matter of Time
Don’t be expecting some apocalyptical prophesies here. I’ll leave that to those more qualified. I’m just thinking that sooner or later we’ll emerge from this cold grip that Old Man Winter has had on us these past weeks. While I realize that a low of 9 degrees this morning is a 20 degree improvement over last week I still think …
Thawing Out
Yes, it’s been a little chilly around these parts. The other night we had -12 degrees…that’s below zero folks. I haven’t been in cold like that since I left Wyoming several years ago. Fortunately I have a nice warm shop to work in these days. I’ve got a number of frames to gild with 23kt gold which is exactly what …
Happy New Year

I managed to get through the Christmas rush…just as I suspected I would…just as I have for the past 26 Christmas rushes. It’s always nice to take a couple of days off afterward to regroup and recharge. Hanging out at the shop the …
