| Paintings Finished (5/30): I finished my Poppy painting this morning - I also added a bit of white to the edges of my White Iris painting - This is the last paintings I'm doing until I drive to Taos in another week. I need to pack all my supplies for the trip up to Taos.   ... |

| Back Home (5/28): We came back from South Dakota to find my poppies on their last legs - But, my roses are in their full glory. Blossom is home from her stay at Zoey's TLC Bed & Breakfast for Dogs - Zoey's called today to see if she was happy with her grooming. I'm spending today and tomorrow unframing watercolors to steal mats and frames for other paintings. I did buy new mat board & foam core today - but, switching mats and frames saves time cutting new mats and buying more frames.   Back Home Again ... |

| Mt Rushmore (5/27): We just returned from our trip to South Dakota. One more thing off our Bucket List. It rained a lot while we were up there. The sun was shining at Mt Rushmore but it rained quite heavy at Crazy Horse. Because of the rain we skipped driving through Custer State Park. Perhaps next time when we go up for Devils Tower and Yellowstone.  Mount Rushmore ... |
||||||
| Judy Collins Concert (5/24): We especially appreciated the beautiful experience we had tonight here in Deadwood, SD - we attended a Judy Collins concert with a fantastic orchestra (the Blackhills Symphony) many of musician appeared fresh out of high school. A delightful hour with just the symphony followed by and hour backing up Judy Collins. One of our best memories will be of a unique rendition of Amazing Grace played by a young man on the bagpipes. How could the world survive without Great Art & Great Music ? |

Roses & Poppies (5/19): My roses and my poppies are both doing quite well. The poppies won't last much longer - but, my roses should hang on through out the summer and on till mid November. Even Blossom loves the smell of the flowers.  ... |

| Going to New Orleans (5/15): This morning, I made two proposals for presentations at NAEA-15 in New Orleans next March. Wish me luck - But, I'm going to New Orleans no matter what. Today was the deadline - Why do I always wait till the last minute ?  Tearing Mountains ... |
||||||
| Poppies (5/14): It's going to be a good year for my poppies. Later on this summer I'm sure to paint from the photos I'm taking now. I took the photo below this morning just as the sun was starting to hit the poppies.  ... |
||||||
| Human Experience Exhibit (5/12): I entered two watercolors into an exhibition in Kansas City. Both were rejected from an early show there - but, these seem to fit the requirement of the "Human Experience". Art at the Center - Human Experience Exhibit runs July 18 till August 25, 2014 at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas.  Human Experience Entries ... |
