New Toy (12/19):
             Christmas came early this year - yesterday, I set up my new 27 inch iMac - I'm transfering files and photos now - the new macs don't have a slot for CD's so I'm using bluetooth file sharing - another learning curve to tackle - the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.


...




Beautiful Blossom (12/18):
             I picked Blossom up from her week at her "Doggy Bed & Breakfast". The groomer did a great job this time but had to trim Blossom's ears making her look funny. My bride refused to share any of our Polish Sausage with Blossom - poor puppy !!! I did give her a Christmas Doggy Toy early.

KU Beats Lobos (12/17):
             We just got back from Kansas City - Didn't get to visit with everyone mostly because the real reason we went to KC was to see my Jayhawks play the Lobos at Sprint Center - Great Game.

    
...




Rock Chalk Jayhawks (12/13):
             Freezing rain in the KC area this morning - will hold off driving till it warms up a bit. One more day till the Lobos meet my Jayhawks at Sprint Center. Rock Chalk Jayhawks Go KUUUUUUUUU !!!

Western Fed (12/12):

             Delightful news - Yesterday, I found out that I was one of the eleven New Mexico artists selected to have a painting in the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies 39th annual exhibition in Arizona (WFWS 39). The juror, Cheng-Khee Chee selected my watercolor of John McEuan. McEuan is one of the founding members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

             The WFWS 39 exhibition is hosted my AWA, the Arizona Watercolor Association and runs April 1st – April 30th,  2014 in the Fountain Hills Community Center - Fountain Hills, Arizona. This juried watercolor show is hosted by a different member society each year. The only other WFWS I had a painting selected for was in 2007 when the exhibition was in Colorado.

Docent Holiday Party (12/9):
             Below is a photo of my docent friends at the Albuquerque Museum. We serve together on a team that lead elementary school groups through our museum every other Tuesday.

Watercolor Party (12/8):

             My bride and I just got back from the Watercolor Society Holiday Party. Frani made a great cheesecake and I came home with a great portrait of Obama. All is well for this old Democrat. The portrait of Obama was painted by Bob Gutchen.






Sandia Sunset (12/06):
             I got home just in time yesterday to shoot a photo of our mountain at sunset. The Sandia is East of us so the mountain catches the rays of warm light of the setting sun.


...




Snow Today (12/05):
             I woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. Even my bride got up to look at the snow before crawling back under the covers. It's only 35 degrees out there so this bit of white won't last long. Colder weather is predicted tomorrow - so, my roses won't hang on much longer. Other parts of the country is getting lots of snow. I'll keep an eye on the road conditions since we plan to drive to Kansas City soon.

   

Snow at 6:50 am

My December Roses (12/03):
             I'm continually amazed at how long my roses have hung on this year. We even had a few days below freezing and my roses are still beautiful. Below are photos I took yesterday - December 2nd. I'll have plenty of photos to use as resources to paint from this winter.


...




Taos Watercolor Workshop (12/02):
             Today, I mailed off my registration for the Adams State workshop in Taos, New Mexico. I've been attending this workshop since 1985. My painting skills improve each year, I enjoy getting together with old friends and learning from them. Yet, my bride is sure I only go for the food. Ken and Louise Blair always treat us like royalty. Think about joining us in beautiful Taos next June. For more information click on the images below.

Roses in December (12/01):
             On the first day of December, it's a nice surprise to look out the window and see my roses hanging on. Yesterday, I took a photo of a hot air balloon floating past.  The balloons colors nicely complemented the colors of my roses.

Waiting For Jurors Decision:
             Below are the three watercolors I entered into the WFWS juried exhibition. I won't hear if the juror accepts one of my paintings till late December. 54 NMWS artists entered 119 paintings into this years competition.

Art Teachers in San Diego - NAEA:

             NMAEA Fall Conference in Santa Fe was a success. My own Collagraph Workshop went over well. I decided to made some needed changes so it will go even better at NAEA in San Diego.
