January 27 - New Watercolor Started:
                I'm starting a new watercolor today - "Whitewater" it's on 300 lb Arches Rough coated with a textured gesso juice - matted it should fit a 28 x 22 inch frame.


...




January 21 - New Watercolor:
                I'm attempting to do a portrait of two sisters who were students of mine back at Rosedale Middle School. Pithasamaie is the older of the two. Pavina was in my last years at Rosedale. Both ladies are beautiful and very talented. Over the years I've painted portraits of their children. I'm not quite finished with their portraits - I should be finished by tomorrow.


...









January 20 - What Will It Take ?
                What can be done to get the message across to the thousands who are not vaccinated ? The numbers are right in front of their faces. PLEASE get vaccinated for your self, your family, your neighbors and stop this damn thing for good.


...




January 19 - Albuquerque Arts Board:
                 At yesterdays Art Board - We discussed the possibility that a Munic firm Franz Mayer would assist a New Mexico artist in completing a glass art installation for the new library in the international district. In 2017, I got to see some of the fantastic work done with  an artist in the New York City subway.
           86th Street station. Art by Chuck Close.
Forty mosaic figures by Vik Muniz that line the 72nd Street station walls reflect the diversity and individuality of subway passengers. The New York Times quoted one reaction: “There is no feeling quite like seeing yourself cemented into the infrastructure of New York. … It lets me know that my city loves me.” The mosaics are renderings by Franz Mayer of Munich based on photographs that Muniz staged, featuring unique and quirky New Yorkers from all walks of life. People connect with the characters and have posted thousands of photos of the installation. Muniz titled the work “Perfect Strangers” but they don't seem like strangers—they are familiar because they look like us and like the people we know and love who are part of our richly diverse city.


...

January 16 - Watercolor Finished:
                Yesterday, I finished my second portrait of Chiaw Weai Loo. She was one of teo young ladies who kjndly volunteered to pose for me when I needed portraits for the workshop I was taking. With Christmas and all - it took me a long time to get back to painting again. With Friday and Saturday Painters going again I should get more productive. As I promised, I e-mailed pics of my paintings to her. Now I need to locate some new subjects to paint.


...





January 15 - Jayhawk Watch Party:
                Here's a pic from todays Watch Party at Craft Republic in Albuquerque - the first half was tight but our team came back to beat West Virginia by 26 points  (85 - 69).


...




January 14 - Finally Back To Painting:
                I finally got back to painting this morning. I finished my first painting of Chiaw Weai Loo and made good progress of my second portrait of her. I should be able to finish it tomorrow morning just before I head off to the bar to watch our Jayhawks beat West Virginia.


...

January 8 - Today's Demo:
                Thank You to Ric Dentinger for such a great demo, this morning, for the New Mexico Watercolor Society. Our membership appreciates the many artists who step forward to share their talents with us.


...




January 7 - Thank You Chewy:
                We buy Blossom's food oneline from "Chewy" - today they were nice enough to send Blossom her portrait on canvas.


...




January 6 - Back To Painting:
                I'm finally getting back to painting tomorrow - I haven't finished my first portrait of this young lady and I'm starting a second one. Our Friday Painters group starts painting tomorrow. Our Saturday group starts meeting on January 15th.


...




January 4 - Orthoceras:
                Our oldest son collects rocks - so, when he was here for Christmas - we stopped at Mama's Minerals. Before we left the rock shop we bought a "Orthoceras" of our own. It's about 400 million years old.


...




January 2 - Goodbye Christmas:
                Spent most of yesterday packing up Christmas - the luminaries are gone - of course my bride does most of the work - Our Santas are going back in the garage for another year.


...




January 1 - Happy New Year:
                Our first snow of the new year was not in our yard - but, I did get better photos of the snow up on our mountain after the clouds lifted.
