| Sitting The Show (10/13): This morning, I'm sitting the NMWS exhibition at the fair grounds. It's a wonderful show this year. Each show seems to get better and better. The quality and the number of entries was way up for this exhibit. I'm also getting my materials together for my watercolor/collage workshop in Garden City, Kansas next weekend. I'm going back to Kansas to attend the state art teachers conference. Years ago, I served on the board of KAEA and attended conferences every year.  Tearing Mountains Workshop It's been eight years since I attended a Kansas conference. I'm
staying in Garden City on the 21st and the 22nd. It's about an eight
hour drive. If I leave Albuquerque early enough, I can stop in

cafe.

| No Balloons Yesterday (10/6): It rained all night yesterday (we really needed it) so they cancelled the balloons for Wednesday morning. Must have been a good rain because our bird bath was full. The early morning skies looked like we might get even more.  More Rain On The Way ??? Frames All Gone:

The balloons stayed up for a long time and were more to the east of us. Today was tour day for our team at the museum. We took 5th graders on an art tour. Afterwards we had them create miniture retablos on precut pieces of wood. Later, I took my watercolor to be checked in at the Fine Arts building. I got a preview of the work lined along the walls. This fall's exhibition will be a strong one.  Watercolor Checkin Day ... |
