Rejected Again 3/16:
             All four of my entries were, for the second year now, not invited (rejected) by the juror for Art at the Center in Overland Park, Kansas. Since I plan to be in the area sometime in May - I'll stop by to view the show and see first hand what the juror was looking for. At least I don't have to pay to ship my art.

3-D Paintings 3/10:
             Each Tuesday, Judy Hagg invites a different artist to teach a lesson at the Palo Duro Senior Center in Albuquerque. Today I introduced painting in 3-D to a class. My 25 students painted on black paper using bright colors of fluorescent tempera paint. When viewed through ChromaDepth 3-D Glasses the colors separate into layers and appear three-dimensional.  These glasses can be obtained at:






Spring & Balloons 3/8:

             Right after I set all the clocks ahead this morning - then, Blossom's bark alerted me to the balloon landing behind our house - it must be spring if the balloons are back.









OSSMM 3/5:

             Friday Night "OSSMM" at the Albuquerque Press Club with New Mexico Art Teachers (Off Site Stress Management Meeting) Just an excuse to drink and share stories - I'm the old dude in the center.









Blossom Close-Up 3/6:

             This morning, I finished my newest watercolor of "Blossom" - she has yet to tell me if she likes it. I'm trying to paint looser right now - more painterly that my last very tight painting. This painting, matted, will fit into a 28 x 22 inch frame.






Entering More Juried Shows 3/2:
             Yesterday, I entered three more juried watercolor shows. I found that every online entry process was different - I now realize what a pain it is for artists who have to jump through all those hoops. Perhaps I'll have at least one watercolor accepted. If not, I've just donated my money to support those watercolor societies. I'm already waiting for results from the NMWS "Members Only" Spring Show and Art at the Center in Overland Park, Kansas. I should have a good chance for getteng into those shows. The three new entries are for the NWWS in Seattle, WA - the NWS in San Pedro, CA - and Watercolor USA in Springfield, MO. I've never gotten into any of those exhibitions before.

Father & Son 3/1:
             I finished my newest watercolor, yesterday, titled "Father & Son". I worked from a photo I took while we eating breakfast in Sausalito, California. That was the morning we were boarding our ship for Alaska. I need to decide in about a week - which show to enter this painting into.

New Watercolors Started:
             I'm starting two new watercolors this morning. I'm going to try to paint looser in both of these. Each are on handmade paper that I coated with gesso. I did my drawings with watercolor pencils. I assume the lines will dissolve and melt as I paint - we will find out. I'm looking for happy accidents as I proceed. Both are subjects I've painted before - a close up view of my puppy Blossom and a beautiful young lady from the La Mesa Church.
