Selling Stuff (8/21):
             While I was busy posting my bride's doll collection on e-bay - I also posted two old cameras - they both sold. So, I decided to post a really good camera that I don't use anymore. It's my Canon Rebel ES and it comes with extra lenses. If I can sell it then I'll upgrade my little "Red" Nikon to a newer model - still "Red" of course.

Summer Roses Finished:
             This morning, I finished my newest watercolor "Summer Roses". Below, are several steps in creating "Summer Roses"along the way.

Roses For My Bride (8/20):
             Most mornings, I try to cut fresh roses for my beautiful bride. It's nice to simply walk into the back yard and clip off a bloom. I usually photograph them. Often I place various colors behind the roses to see the effect.

Painting Roses (8/15):

             I'm painting roses to relieve the tension from painting people. I need a nice break from time to time. At least I got a decent start this morning.










Royal Street Duo Finally Finished (8/14):

             It took way too long to complete this painting. I finished it this morning and put it in a mat. They always look better in a mat. I'll take it to Saturday Painters tomorrow for a critique.

Framed Last Two (8/13):
             Yesterday, I framed my final two paintings for the exhibit at the New Mexico Cancer Center - I'll hang ten watercolors there this Fall. One has a music theme - it's called "Duct Tape Tuba". I painted it in 2009 from an earlier trip we took to New Orleans.

Summer Roses (8/12):

             I cut some summer roses, from our backyard, for my bride today.






Cutting Mats & Framing (8/11):
             I cut more mats today and even framed another painting of "Dorise". That makes three versions I've done of this street musician from New Orleans.  I also ordered some new frames and plexi from Teresa Youngblood today. She makes the best frames.

Framing More Paintings (8/9):

             I'm planning ahead - I started framing the paintings that I entered into the Kansas Watercolor Society Show.


Isotopes Baseball:
            Wonderful evening at the ballpark with my bride - ribbon fries with cheese and green chili, cold beer, fantastic fireworks - plus the topes pulled off a come from behind win in the last of the 9th inning. It was 85 degrees, dry with a nice breeze - life could not be better.





Framing Paintings (8/8):
             Today, I framed two watercolors. Yes, it's the same lady - "Dorise" - in both paintings. One, I'm shipping to Jackson, Mississippi for the MSWS Grand National. The second watercolor will hang with other signature members paintings (in a seperate room) at the NMWS Fall Exhibition. Both are in quality frames like the one's we used for Western Fed when it was in New Mexico.

Today's Progress (8/7):

Kansas Entries (8/5):
             I decided to enter three of my New Orleans "Street Music" watercolors into the Kansas Watercolor Society's National Exhibition 2015. I was accepted ito the KWS show last year so perhaps I'll make it again. Sterling Edwards is the juror of selection and the Judge of awards. The show runs from November 20th, 2015 till January 3rd, 2016 at the Wichita Center for the Arts in Wichita, Kansas. I'll get the jurors decisions in mid October so then I can enter any rejects into Western Fed or another show.

Signature Show:
             I decided to display this watercolor of "Dorise" with the other signature members display at the Fall Show. The NMWS signature members paintings will be in a seperate room and are not for sale. It just a way to show off the quality of our work. Dorise and Tanya play beautiful music together on the streets of the French Quarter.

             Today, I send my entries for the New Mexico Watercolor Society Fall "Open" Exhibition. Here are the three watercolors I decided to enter.

Jewish Community Exhibit (8/3):
             I selected my two watercolors for the NMWS show at the JCC. The Albuquerque Jewish Community Exhibit has a great exhibit space. I choose paintings that I thought might have a chance to sell. We have a rececption scheduled on Sunday, August 30th from 2 to 5 pm. We will have snacks and even wine for our guests.

"Selfless":
             Want to live forever - Today we saw "Selfless" at the dollar ($1.15 now) the movie really makes you think and pay close attention to the plot. My bride slept through most of it - but, I loved it.

Royal Street Duo (8/1):
             I finally got back to painting yesterday morning - I made a bit of progress on "Royal Street Duo". If this one works out it will be one of my entries into the Weatern Federation show in Colorado.

The exhibition dates are October 5th - November 22nd, 2015 - This is my 6th year in a row being accepted into the MSWS Grand National - we hope to view the show on our way to New Orleans later this year.
