| Go Seniors 4/25: I conducted a watercolor workshop today at the Palo Duro Senior Center - they didn't require much instruction - just let them paint - brought photos of my roses for references.

| Back Yard Work 4/20: My first roses at starting to bloom. From the look of the bushes, I'm going to have a bumper crop for roses this year. We also got tried of putting plants between our flag stones - so, we opted for glass. I did not buy enough so 6 more bags are on order.   ... |

| Santa Fe 4/4: We were planning on driving up to Santa Fe today- but, the predicted low is 22 with a high of 43 with 1 to 3 inches of snow. I guess we will wait a couple days. Yesterday we took in another dollar movie. "Hidden Figures" tells the incredible untold story of Katherine Jonson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) – brilliant African-American women working at NASA who served as the brains behind the launch into orbit of astronaut John Glenn, a stunning achievement that turned around the Space Race. The visionary trio crossed all gender and racial line and inspired generations.  Rather
than John Glenn, these ladies "Colored Computers" were the real heros.
But their story took many years to finally surface. John Glenn went on
to be a US Senator and even try a run for president. Glenn delivered
the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in 1976. He
was even considered for vice president. I remember talking to him in
1984 when he was considering a serious bid for the Democratic
nomination. But, As it turned out, Glenn’s bid for nomination as a
pro-defense centrist
and all-American hero sputtered badly. Moderates and liberals like
myself found a younger
alternative in Colorado Senator Gary Hart. I still have my Gary Hart
bumper stickers.

Check out her announcement video and share it with your friends.  ............................................................................................................................................................................................. |
| Bragging Rights 4/2: Luck must be on my side, at least for now. I had five watercolors witch were selected into four different juried exhibitions in May and April. My "Clarinet NOLA" is in the current MasterWorks of New Mexico Exhibit. A different watercolor of the same title "Clarinet NOLA" is in Kansas City for the Art at the Center's National Juried Exhibition in Overland Park, Kansas. Then, in next months NMWS Members Only Show - I had two pieces accepted: "Faux Poppies" and "Youmg Rock Climbers". Best of all, I got my watercolor, "Reggae Reflections", accepted into the Louisiana Watercolor Socities International Exhibition in New Orleans.    ..........................................................................................................................................................................................   ............................................................................................................................................................................................. |
