| New Facebook Page (4/29): This morning, I created a new Facebook page for RAEA. The purpose of the RAEA is to establish the role of the retired art educators as an affiliate of NAEA & develop a strong link with in-service art teachers. The RAEA strives to conduct programs of professional activities at state and national levels; to encourage continued personal involvement and development in art education, to inform State Associations and NAEA of concerns relevant to members of long-standing; to encourage and provide mentor ship for members of the National Student NAEA Chapter. At each NAEA national convention the RAEA selects an outstanding Student Chapter to recognize for it's excellence. This years winning student chapter was from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. They were presented at the RAEA Luncheon on March 27th, at the Hilton, in New Orleans. Also at the RAEA business meeting in New Orleans officers were elected - Linda Willis Fisher (Illinois) becomes the new president for RAEA replacing Dean G Johns (North Carolina). Dean will now serve as past-president for two years. Woody Duncan (New Mexico) was elected as president-elect for the next two years. |

| MasterWorks Open House (4/19): I just returned from the Open House at MasterWorks - artists are ask to come and paint for the afternoon at the exhibit. We had a cowboy for a model and I got to "mentor" a high school art student. "Xena" was an excellent artist and did not need my help. There was also a model for the elementary students - a beautiful Great Pyrenees.   ... |
||||||
| "Street Music" Finished (4/17): I'm quite satisfied with the way my newset watercolor turned out. The subject is a musicial on the streets of New Orleans. The French Quarter is a wonderful resource for artists - especially if you want to paint musicians. This the first watercolor I've painted since we returned home from New Orleans.  ...  Street Music ... |

| Docents (4/14): By far, we have the best docent team at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History - Today we had training on the new technology added to the museum - tomorrow we take a group of school children through the new history exhibit.  Best Docent Team ... |

| Back Home - Painting Again (4/10): I started a new watercolor today - I'll be doing a lot of paintings now based on things we observed on our trip. The first one is from street music in New Orleans.   ... |

| Easter Sunday - Back in New Orleans (4/6): We arrived back in the "Big Easy" to a parade where we collected beads and enjoyed another day of fun.  Enjoying Our Last Day in New Orleans ... |

| Cozumel, Belize, Roatan and Costa Maya (4/5): The Norwegian Dawn stopped at four ports on our cruise. In Belize we toured Ancient Mayan Temples - then, in Roatan we played with the monkeys. Great food and calm blue waters for the entire trip.     Norwegian Dawn ... |

| After NAEA - We Took A Cruise (4/4): After the National Art Teacher conference, my Bride and I took the Norwegian Dawn out of New Orleans. It cruise was a wonderful experience - with one exception - students were on spring break so there were lots of very young people on the ship. Our first surprise was just how long it took our ship to travel down the Mississippi river before it reached the Gulf of Mexico. I got some great shots of the sun setting over the Mississippi delta.  Watching the Sun Go Down as We Travel Toward the Gulf ... |

| Preservation Hall (4/2): While in New Orleans, we had to take in the jazz music at the Preservation Hall in the French Quarter. It's on St Louis Street - a half block off Bourbon Street. I purchased our tickets well in advance - otherwise the line to get in was a block long. The place holds about 80 squeezed in quite tightly.  |
||||||
| NAEA in New Orleans (4/1): I have not updated my website or my blog for a while because we were in New Orleans for NAEA - National Art Education Association annual convention. While in the BIG EASY, we walked the French Quarter and took in a lot of wonderful Street Music.  ... |
