Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
I’ve been making do with studio work lately. I’d really like to get out and paint but the weather has been a bit uncooperative…too cold, too much snow, too rainy…you know. Any old excuse to stay inside. Fortunately I’ve got a lot of studio work to keep me busy. There is always admin stuff to do; photographing paintings, entering them …
I trust that Santa found your house and you didn’t get any coal in your stocking. Now that Christmas is over, I’m all for moving right along into Spring. I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to 2017 and am welcoming it with open arms. Ever since I had my little flurry of TIA’s 3 years ago, I’ve …
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. This is the view from my gallery/studio. We really needed the moisture and it made everything absolutely beautiful. When it cleared off it got pretty cold. A brisk 1 degree this morning. Off to the studio I go. We’re in the final countdown to Christmas. It’s been very busy since …
You know, I get out and about a fair amount and I really like going but I have found that the best part about being gone is the coming home again. There’s nothing like the comfort and familiarity of home. There’s a fellow artist, from Kansas City I believe, who with his wife sold their house, bought an Airstream trailer and …
I write this to you from the Zion Plein Air Invitational, yes, in Zion National Park. I was chosen from a nation wide application process to be one of 24 select professional artists to participate in a week long plein air painting event culminating with a wet painting sale Saturday and Sunday. Friday evening is a special invitation for a …
Well…I’m getting a little ink here in Valley Living magazine, a regional rag for the Uncompahgre Valley, here on the Western Slope of Colorado, my home town. How cool is that? We artists are always glad to be getting a little publicity when ever we can. For those of you who don’t know much about me, this is a pretty good account. …
My how time flies when you’re having fun. Right? I remember when I was a kid that time seemed to stand still. It took for ever for my birthday or Christmas to roll around, not to mention summer vacation from school, the 4th of July, Halloween or any other holiday of note. Now a days? The same landmarks on the calendar …
I write this to you from my camp at the KOA in Moab, Utah. I’m here for the Plein Air Moab event this week. Moab is one of my favorite places to paint and I’m joined here by two other Montrose artists, Lewis Williams and Susan Thiel. Painters aren’t the only ones that love Moab. Mountain bikers, hikers, jeepers, all sorts …
I’m back from the hinterlands in Escalante, Utah. My return has made me really appreciate fast internet and electricity, neither of which I understand but thoroughly enjoy the benefits of. It’s become a big part of my life I’m sad to say. To be fair, Escalante isn’t off the grid by any means. They do have electricity and the internet there. It’s …
Escalante, Utah isn’t a real big town. It might push a 1,000 people…maybe counting tourists during the height of the season. I don’t know. There are no signal lights. There’s one grocery story and the selection is limited. Reminded me of up in Northern British Columbia and the Yukon. Escalante is located on scenic Highway 12 in the southern part …
