May 31 - Way Behind Posting:
             I have not posted much in the last couple weeks. I'm getting ready for my annual trip to Taos, New Mexico. One whole week of painting with friends, good food and a few drinks. If you come up to Taos on Friday June 8th you can see all our paintings on display from the weeks workshop at the Sagebrush Inn. I plan to have Sangria for all my visitors.


           
On our last secession, Saturday Painters group had lunch at Pei Wei's someones face got blocked by an extra big hat

May 14 - Spring Cleaning:
             It's that time of the year to take all our goodies down - wipe off the dust and put things back where they belong. I hold the ladder while my bride climbs to the higher places. I have a very healthly fear of heights which tends to get me out of some work.

May 4 - WOW !
             My painting was selected to receive the Watercolor USA Honor Society "Richard Clubb Memorial Award” of $300 for “Clarinet Nola”, in this year's  Watercolor USA 2018. Just getting a painting into Watercolor USA is quite an honor.  I consider Watercolor USA one of the top juried watercolor shows in the country.  Organized in 1962 by the Springfield Art Museum, this event aims to attract the best in contemporary American watermedia and strives to exhibit work by artists who are pushing the boundaries of the medium.  Besides the award and the cash - I'm told that now I will become a member of the "Watercolor USA Honor Society"the Watercolor USA Honor Society is a unique organization formed in 1985 from a broad based assemblage of inventive artists. WHS endeavors to cultivate and promote an interest in watermedia painting via the venue of the Watercolor USA exhibition.  Wow - what an honor, since this is only the second time I've had a painting accepted into Watercolor USA.






May 3 - Buy Art:
             Be sure to stop by the NMWS Spring Exhibition - Opening Reception: Saturday May 5 - 1 to 4 pm - Exhibition open May 6 through 27 (Thurs - Sun 10 am - 4 pm) While you are there buy a beautiful painting to take home.
