Here it is, New Years Eve morning. A good time to look at the new year that will be here in less than 24 hrs. I’m not going to look back however. 2009 wasn’t much to look at. I’ve got a few things on the books for the coming year that I will share with you so you can know …
Capella Hotel Reception
The Capella Hotel in Mountain Village, Telluride, Colorado hosted a reception for me for a one man show that opened last night. A fantastically beautiful facility over looking the ski slopes. Brenda, owner of East Meets West Gallery represents me in the area and hung 40 pieces for the show which hangs through January. A great time was had by …
Waiting for Abe to Open
This is a full sheet watercolor I finished last week of a “client” waiting for Abe to open his Old Tumacacori Bar which is in extreme southern Arizona near the Mexican border. This painting is entered into the Colorado Watercolor Society show coming in the spring.
Winter Fun
Here’s a watercolor I just finished a couple of days ago for our Christmas card this year although I realize that I’m running out of time for printing and mailing. Maybe I’ll use it for next year instead…we’ll see how it goes.
The Old Adobe
Here is a little 6 x 8 oil that I did a couple of days ago of an old adobe house just off of Canyon Rd. in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Canyon Road is a famous art district in Santa Fe. I used to show in a gallery there. I love to wander the side streets in the area. It is really, …
A New Market
I just listed two paintings, small ones, on eBay. This is a new market for me. I’ve read mixed reviews on the matter but decided to go ahead and try it. I can definitely get a lot more exposure this way for sure. We’ll see what happens. Click here to see what I’ve got. I’ll keep you posted on this new …
Baby it’s Cold Outside
8 degrees with a wind chill of -5 this morning when I got up . Guess I won’t be riding my motorcycle today. Nor will I be painting outside either I suppose. I have painted out in the cold before but it is hard to get the fingers to move in the way I want and the oil paint gets …
Waiting for You
Here is my painting for today, a new little 8 x 6 oil painting I just did of a sidewalk cafe near the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. I painted it from a photo I took as part of a series while out there a couple of years ago. I just love the bouganvillea that are so poular in Southern California. This painting …
Garden Fountain
This is my painting for today. It is a little 6 x 8 oil I just did of a fountain in a garden at a winery in the Napa area. It is from a photo I took when we road our motorcycles out there in June of ’08. A lot of inspiration there for sure. Click here to bid on …
The Navajo Nation
We traveled across the Navajo Reservation on the way down to Tucson for the opening of the Mountain Oyster Club Art Show I mentioned last week. I’ve traveled across the rez numerous times. In the late 1980’s when I was showing at the Grand Canyon and other venues in Arizona, Highway 160 became all too familiar. Not much has changed …
