Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
I spent some time between playoff games this past weekend planning my plein air show schedule for 2016 on a large “year at a glance” wall calendar. I blocked out the days of the shows and entered the entry deadlines to help keep me stay on track. I have to do this because I am notorious for forgetting to meet the …
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 …
It looks like it’ll be a white Merry Christmas for a lot of us. We’re getting a pretty good snow right now in fact.That’ll be nice, especially for the kids. Dad can take the kids outside for a little sledding and snowman building. It’ll keep everybody out of the kitchen so Mom and do the cooking. Sounds idyllic doesn’t it. …
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 …
Our Thanksgiving Day was full of winter adventures and the Land of OZ…Kansas that is. We left for OZ on Thursday pulling our Arctic Fox travel trailer headed right into a major winter storm warning full of freezing rain, ice, snow and wind. What the heck. I’m an adventurous sort and our Arctic Fox trailer is a four seasons model …
Happy Thanksgiving to all. I’m not sure what the politically correct version of that is but I’m pretty sure you ought to know by now that I wouldn’t use it anyway. I think that Thanksgiving is by all accounts steeped in family get togethers and over indulging in the feast that those responsible worked so hard to prepare for our …
“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’ …
As you know, I get out and about a bit from time to time traveling hither and yon in search of subjects to paint and photograph. This summer I got up into the North Coast of British Columbia, across the province into Alberta and back home, traveling through Yellowstone N.P.. I just got back from a weekend over in Utah …
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. As most of you know by now, I paint in both. People often ask me which I prefer and I have to say watercolor. So you may be …
